Subject: ALSA: msnd: Optimize / harden DSP and MIDI loops

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit 20e2b791796bd68816fa115f12be5320de2b8021 upstream.

The ISA msnd drivers have loops fetching the ring-buffer head, tail and size values inside the loops. Such codes are inefficient and fragile.

This patch optimizes it, and also adds the sanity check to avoid the endless loops.
