This works fine in general, but in theory, this may lead to unexpectedly long stall if an ioctl like SNDCTL_SEQ_SYNC is issued and an event with the far future timestamp was queued. For fixing such a potential stall, this patch changes the mutex lock applied conditionally excluding such an ioctl command. Also, change the mutex_lock() with the interruptible version for user to allow escaping from the big-hammer mutex.
