From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx> commit 7c32ae35fbf9cffb7aa3736f44dec10c944ca18e upstream. The call of unsubscribe_port() which manages the group count and module refcount from delete_and_unsubscribe_port() looks racy; it's not covered by the group list lock, and it's likely a cause of the reported unbalance at port deletion. Let's move the call inside the group list_mutex to plug the hole.
