[alsa-devel] [PATCH, RFC 25/30] oss: vwsnd: avoid interruptible_sleep_on

Interruptible_sleep_on is racy and we want to remove it. This replaces
the use in the vwsnd driver with an open-coded prepare_to_wait
loop that fixes the race between concurrent open() and close() calls,
and also drops the global mutex while waiting here, which restores
the original behavior that was changed during the BKL removal.
