ALSA: pcm: Allow aborting mutex lock at OSS read/write loops



PCM OSS read/write loops keep taking the mutex lock for the whole
read/write, and this might take very long when the exceptionally high
amount of data is given.  Also, since it invokes with mutex_lock(),
the concurrent read/write becomes unbreakable.

This patch tries to address these issues by replacing mutex_lock()
with mutex_lock_interruptible(), and also splits / re-takes the lock
at each read/write period chunk, so that it can switch the context
more finely if requested.
