[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: emu10k1: Fix deadlock in synth voice lookup

[Takashi Iwai]

The emu10k1 voice allocator takes voice_lock spinlock. When there is
no empty stream available, it tries to release a voice used by synth,
and calls get_synth_voice. The callback function,
snd_emu10k1_synth_get_voice(), however, also takes the voice_lock,
thus it deadlocks.

The fix is simply removing the voice_lock holds in
snd_emu10k1_synth_get_voice(), as this is always called in the
spinlock context.
