[PATCH 1/2] ALSA: emux: Fix UAF of soundfont zones at note-on

[Takashi Iwai]

snd_emux_note_on() looks up the matching zones via
snd_soundfont_search_zone(), which takes sflist->lock only during the
lookup and returns the raw zone pointers after releasing it.  The
caller then stores them in vp->zone without any protection.
Meanwhile, a concurrent SNDRV_EMUX_IOCTL_REMOVE_LAST_SAMPLES ioctl may
unlink and free those zones in snd_soundfont_remove_unlocked(); this
leads to a use-after-free in snd_emux_note_on(), and later at
accessing the cached vp->zone, e.g. in snd_emux_send_effect().

Fix it by holding sflist->lock in snd_emux_note_on() over the whole
zone lookup and voice setup, and let snd_soundfont_search_zone()
require the caller to hold the lock, instead.
snd_soundfont_lock_preset() takes sflist->lock for setting
presets_locked, so the removal path now syncs with the note-on finish.
