ALSA OSS sequencer calls the ioctl function indirectly via snd_seq_kernel_client_ctl(). While we already applied the protection against races between the normal ioctls and writes via the client's ioctl_mutex, this code path was left untouched. And this seems to be the cause of still remaining some rare UAF as spontaneously triggered by syzkaller. For the sake of robustness, wrap the ioctl_mutex also for the call via snd_seq_kernel_client_ctl(), too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
