Thinking of it again, a revised version below should work better.
The previous fix had a slight race window between the atomic check and
the mutex lock.

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai at suse.de>
Subject: [PATCH v2] ALSA: pcm: Fix mutex unbalance in OSS emulation ioctls

The previous fix 40cab6e88cb0 ("ALSA: pcm: Return -EBUSY for OSS
ioctls changing busy streams") introduced some mutex unbalance; the
check of runtime->oss.rw_ref was inserted in a wrong place after the
mutex lock.

This patch fixes the inconsistency by rewriting with the helper
functions to lock/unlock parameters with the stream check.

Fixes: 40cab6e88cb0 ("ALSA: pcm: Return -EBUSY for OSS ioctls changing busy streams")
