ALSA: control: code refactoring for ELEM_READ/ELEM_WRITE operations
ALSA control core handles ELEM_READ/ELEM_WRITE requests within lock
acquisition of a counting semaphore. The lock is acquired in helper
functions in the end of call path before calling implementations of each
driver.
ioctl(2) with SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_READ
...
->snd_ctl_ioctl()
->snd_ctl_elem_read_user()
->snd_ctl_elem_read()
->down_read(controls_rwsem)
->snd_ctl_find_id()
->struct snd_kcontrol.get()
->up_read(controls_rwsem)
ioctl(2) with SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_WRITE
...
->snd_ctl_ioctl()
->snd_ctl_elem_write_user()
->snd_ctl_elem_write()
->down_read(controls_rwsem)
->snd_ctl_find_id()
->struct snd_kcontrol.put()
->up_read(controls_rwsem)
This commit moves the lock acquisition to middle of the call graph to
simplify the helper functions. As a result:
