ALSA: core: Add async signal helpers
[ Upstream commit ef34a0ae7a2654bc9e58675e36898217fb2799d8 ] Currently the call of kill_fasync() from an interrupt handler might lead to potential spin deadlocks, as spotted by syzkaller. Unfortunately, it's not so trivial to fix this lock chain as it's involved with the tasklist_lock that is touched in allover places. As a temporary workaround, this patch provides the way to defer the async signal notification in a work. The new helper functions, snd_fasync_helper() and snd_kill_faync() are replacements for fasync_helper() and kill_fasync(), respectively. In addition, snd_fasync_free() needs to be called at the destructor of the relevant file object.
