ALSA: seq: 2nd attempt at fixing race creating a queue

commit 7e1d90f6 upstream.

commit 4842e98f ("ALSA: seq: Fix race at
creating a queue") attempted to fix a race reported by syzkaller. That
fix has been described as follows:

"
When a sequencer queue is created in snd_seq_queue_alloc(),it adds the
new queue element to the public list before referencing it.  Thus the
queue might be deleted before the call of snd_seq_queue_use(), and it
results in the use-after-free error, as spotted by syzkaller.

The fix is to reference the queue object at the right time.
"

Even with that fix in place, syzkaller reported a use-after-free error.
It specifically pointed to the last instruction "return q->queue" in
snd_seq_queue_alloc(). The pointer q is being used after kfree() has
been called on it.

It turned out that there is still a small window where a race can
happen. The window opens at
snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue()->snd_seq_queue_alloc()->queue_list_add()
and closes at
snd_seq_ioctl_create_queue()->queueptr()->snd_use_lock_use(). Between
these two calls, a different thread could delete the queue and possibly
re-create a different queue in the same location in queue_list.

This change prevents this situation by calling snd_use_lock_use() from
snd_seq_queue_alloc() prior to calling queue_list_add(). It is then the
caller's responsibility to call snd_use_lock_free(&q->use_lock).
