[PATCH] ALSA: aloop: Fix &cable->lock deadlock issues

[YE Chengfeng <cyeaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The timer loopback_jiffies_timer_function is executed under
bottom-half softirq context and require a spinlock, thus
other process context code requiring the same lock (i.e.,
loopback_trigger, loopback_pointer) can deadlock with the
timer if it is preempted while holding the lock.

Deadlock scenario:
loopback_trigger
    -> spin_lock(&cable->lock);
        <timer interrupt>
        -> loopback_jiffies_timer_function
        -> spin_lock_irqsave(&dpcm->cable->lock, flags);

Fix the potential deadlock by using spin_lock_irqsave.
