ALSA: seq: Break too long mutex context in the write loop
The fix for the racy writes and ioctls to sequencer widened the application of client->ioctl_mutex to the whole write loop. Although it does unlock/relock for the lengthy operation like the event dup, the loop keeps the ioctl_mutex for the whole time in other situations. This may take quite long time if the user-space would give a huge buffer, and this is a likely cause of some weird behavior spotted by syzcaller fuzzer. This patch puts a simple workaround, just adding a mutex break in the loop when a large number of events have been processed. This shouldn't hit any performance drop because the threshold is set high enough for usual operations.
