    A kernel WARNING in snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack() is triggered by
    syzkaller fuzzer:
      WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 20739 at sound/core/rawmidi.c:1136

    Also a similar warning is found but in another path:
    Call Trace:

    In the former case, the reason is that virmidi has an open code
    calling snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack() with the value calculated outside
    the spinlock.   We may use snd_rawmidi_transmit() in a loop just for
    consuming the input data, but even there, there is a race between
    snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek() and snd_rawmidi_tranmit_ack().
    
    Similarly in the latter case, it calls snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek() and
    snd_rawmidi_tranmit_ack() separately without protection, so they are
    racy as well.
    
    The patch tries to address these issues by the following ways:
    - Introduce the unlocked versions of snd_rawmidi_transmit_peek() and
      snd_rawmidi_transmit_ack() to be called inside the explicit lock.
    - Rewrite snd_rawmidi_transmit() to be race-free (the former case).
    - Make the split calls (the latter case) protected in the rawmidi spin
      lock.
