The recent change in lockdep for read lock caused the deadlock
warnings in ALSA control code which uses the read_lock() for
notification and else while write_lock_irqsave() is used for adding
and removing the list entry. Although a deadlock would practically
never hit in a real usage (the addition and the deletion can't happen
with the notification), it's better to fix the read_lock() usage in a
semantically correct way.
This patch replaces the read_lock() calls with read_lock_irqsave()
version for avoiding a reported deadlock. The notification code path
takes the irq disablement in anyway, and other code paths are very
short execution, hence there shouldn't be any big performance hit by
this change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
