4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de
This is the revised backport of the upstream commit b3defb791b26ea0683a93a4f49c77ec45ec96f10
We had another backport (e.g. 623e5c8ae32b in 4.4.115), but it applies the new mutex also to the code paths that are invoked via faked kernel-to-kernel ioctls. As reported recently, this leads to a deadlock at suspend (or other scenarios triggering the kernel sequencer client).
This patch addresses the issue by taking the mutex only in the code paths invoked by user-space, just like the original fix patch does.

Tagged as 4.4.x, but should be applied to other older kernels, too.
