[PATCH v2 0/4] ALSA: Defer async signal handling

[Takashi Iwai]

Hi,

this is a revised patch series for another attempt to address the
potential deadlocks via kill_fasync() calls that have been reported by
syzbot for long time.  Only a missing linux/fs.h inclusion was added
from v1 series[1].

Instead of the previous series to drop the async handler[2], this
tries to defer the kill_fasync() call.  A few new common helpers are
introduced at first, then the actual usages are replaced in the
following patches.

The patches passed the quick tests with alsa-lib test cases.
