The fix for input_dev race in commit 1b6a6fc5280e ("ALSA: jack: Access input_dev under mutex"), however, introduced a mutex lock in snd_jack_report(), and this resulted in a potential sleep-in-atomic. For addressing that problem, this patch changes the relevant code to use the object get/put and removes the mutex usage. That is, snd_jack_report(), it takes input_get_device() and leaves with input_put_device() for assuring the input_dev being assigned. Although the whole mutex could be reduced, we keep it because it can be still a protection for potential races between creation and deletion.
