This lock is superfluous. The object is being created here and isn't
registered anywhere, so no one else can use it yet.

... you forgot unlock here, and this error path will lead to a
deadlock.

Ditto, no need for mutex lock yet.
One thing I'm not sure is whether it's good to use mutex.
Basically snd_jack_report() is considered to be callable from
non-atomic context, too, so far, and we don't need to prohibit it.
OTOH, all current calls are in the sleepable context, so it's likely
no big problem. But if we use mutex, it should be documented in
snd_jack_report() function, too.
thanks,
Takashi
