[PATCH 1/4] echoaudio: Race conditions around "opencount"

[Mark Hills <mark@xwax.org>]

Use of atomics does not make these statements robust:

       atomic_inc(&chip->opencount);
       if (atomic_read(&chip->opencount) > 1 && chip->rate_set)
               chip->can_set_rate=0;

and

       if (atomic_read(&chip->opencount)) {
               if (chip->opencount) {
                       changed = -EAGAIN;
               } else {
                       changed = set_digital_mode(chip, dmode);

It would be necessary to atomically increment or decrement the value
and use the returned result. And yet we still need to prevent other
threads making use of "can_set_rate" while we set it.

However in all but one case the atomic is misleading as they are already
running with "mode_mutex" held.

Decisions are made on mode setting are often intrinsically connected
to "opencount" because some operations are not permitted unless
there is sole ownership.

So instead simplify this, and use "mode_mutex" as a lock for all reference
counting and mode setting.
