[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: seq: Fix potential concurrent access to the deleted pool

The input pool of a client might be deleted via the resize ioctl, the
the access to it should be covered by the proper locks.  Currently the
only missing place is the call in snd_seq_ioctl_get_client_pool(), and
this patch papers over it.
