ALSA: pcm: Fix races among concurrent hw_params and hw_free calls



Currently we have neither proper check nor protection against the
concurrent calls of PCM hw_params and hw_free ioctls, which may result
in a UAF.  Since the existing PCM stream lock can't be used for
protecting the whole ioctl operations, we need a new mutex to protect
those racy calls.

This patch introduced a new mutex, runtime->buffer_mutex, and applies
it to both hw_params and hw_free ioctl code paths.  Along with it, the
both functions are slightly modified (the mmap_count check is moved
into the state-check block) for code simplicity.
