snd_seq_poll() calls snd_seq_write_pool_allocated() that reads out a field in client->pool object, while it can be updated concurrently via ioctls, as reported by syzbot. The data race itself is harmless, as it's merely a poll() call, and the state is volatile. OTOH, the read out of poll object info from the caller side is fragile, and we can leave it better in snd_seq_pool_poll_wait() alone. A similar pattern is seen in snd_seq_kernel_client_write_poll(), too, which is called from the OSS sequencer. This patch drops the pool checks from the caller side and add the pool->lock in snd_seq_pool_poll_wait() for better data consistency.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
