From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> stable inclusion from stable-v5.10.150 commit ef1658bc482c4ea8d5c55735fd8f4558d2bb5948 category: bugfix bugzilla: https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I6D0XA Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- commit a70aef7982b012e86dfd39fbb235e76a21ae778a upstream. The register_mutex taken around the dev_unregister callback call in snd_rawmidi_free() may potentially lead to a mutex deadlock, when OSS emulation and a hot unplug are involved. Since the mutex doesn't protect the actual race (as the registration itself is already protected by another means), let's drop it.
