    commit e1a7bfe3807974e66f971f2589d4e0197ec0fced upstream.
    
    The procedure for adding a user control element has some window opened
    for race against the concurrent removal of a user element.  This was
    caught by syzkaller, hitting a KASAN use-after-free error.
    
    This patch addresses the bug by wrapping the whole procedure to add a
    user control element with the card->controls_rwsem, instead of only
    around the increment of card->user_ctl_count.
    
    This required a slight code refactoring, too.  The function
    snd_ctl_add() is split to two parts: a core function to add the
    control element and a part calling it.  The former is called from the
    function for adding a user control element inside the controls_rwsem.
    
    One change to be noted is that snd_ctl_notify() for adding a control
    element gets called inside the controls_rwsem as well while it was
    called outside the rwsem.  But this should be OK, as snd_ctl_notify()
    takes another (finer) rwlock instead of rwsem, and the call of
    snd_ctl_notify() inside rwsem is already done in another code path.
