commit 22dec134dbfa825b963f8a1807ad19b943e46a56 upstream.

ALSA OSS sequencer refers to a global variable max_midi_devs at
creating a new port, storing it to its own field.  Meanwhile this
variable may be changed by other sequencer events at
snd_seq_oss_midi_check_exit_port() in parallel, which may cause a data
race.

OTOH, this data race itself is almost harmless, as the access to the
MIDI device is done via get_mdev() and it's protected with a refcount,
hence its presence is guaranteed.

Though, it's sill better to address the data-race from the code sanity
POV, and this patch adds the proper spinlock for the protection.
