ALSA: seq: oss: Serialize readq reset state with q->lock

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

ALSA: seq: oss: Serialize readq reset state with q->lock

snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() resets qlen, head, and tail without
q->lock even though the normal reader and producer paths serialize the
same ring state under that spinlock. A reset can therefore race
snd_seq_oss_readq_free() or snd_seq_oss_readq_put_event() and leave
stale records in the queue, drop freshly queued ones, or report the
wrong readiness after wakeup. KCSAN reports a data race between
snd_seq_oss_readq_clear() and snd_seq_oss_readq_free().

Take q->lock while clearing the ring and resetting input_time. Factor
the enqueue logic into a caller-locked helper so
snd_seq_oss_readq_put_timestamp() updates its suppression state under
the same lock instead of racing the reset path.

The buggy scenario involves two paths, with each column showing the
order within that path:

reset path:                      locked readq updater:
1. snd_seq_oss_reset() or        1. A reader or callback producer
   release reaches                  takes q->lock on the same queue.

2. snd_seq_oss_readq_clear()     2. The updater tests or modifies
   resets qlen, head, tail,         qlen, head, and tail.

3. snd_seq_oss_readq_clear()     3. The updater completes its

   q->midi_sleep.
4. Without q->lock, the reset    4. The resulting ring state drives
