ALSA: seq: Fix data-race at module auto-loading
stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.142 commit 1079d095725a66c3c45274cb62ebf1f29759c780 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6CSFH Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=1079d095725a66c3c45274cb62ebf1f29759c780 -------------------------------- commit 3e7e04b7 upstream. It's been reported that there is a possible data-race accessing to the global card_requested[] array at ALSA sequencer core, which is used for determining whether to call request_module() for the card or not. This data race itself is almost harmless, as it might end up with one extra request_module() call for the already loaded module at most. But it's still better to fix. This patch addresses the possible data race of card_requested[] and client_requested[] arrays by replacing them with bitmask. It's an atomic operation and can work without locks.
