    kernel - Fix deadlock in sound system
    
    * There is a deadlock between the sound system and devfs where one thread
      locks the sound system and calls into devfs, and another calls into devfs
      which holds the devfs lock while calling back into the sound system.
    
    * Fixed by unlocking devfs across the callback.
    
    * Easily triggered by the mate desktop (mate-session, sound preference,
      click random sound effects until deadlock occurs).
