    ALSA: hda: fix a possible null-pointer dereference due to data race in snd_hdac_regmap_sync() · 1f4a08fe

    The variable codec->regmap is often protected by the lock
    codec->regmap_lock when is accessed. However, it is accessed without
    holding the lock when is accessed in snd_hdac_regmap_sync():
    
      if (codec->regmap)
    
    In my opinion, this may be a harmful race, because if codec->regmap is
    set to NULL right after the condition is checked, a null-pointer
    dereference can occur in the called function regcache_sync():
    
      map->lock(map->lock_arg); --> Line 360 in drivers/base/regmap/regcache.c
    
    To fix this possible null-pointer dereference caused by data race, the
    mutex_lock coverage is extended to protect the if statement as well as the
    function call to regcache_sync().
    
    [ Note: the lack of the regmap_lock itself is harmless for the current
      codec driver implementations, as snd_hdac_regmap_sync() is only for
      PM runtime resume that is prohibited during the codec probe.
      But the change makes the whole code more consistent, so it's merged
      as is -- tiwai ]
