dsp: Fix a potential use-after-free in dsp_oss_syncstart()
This function has a loop where it attempts to lock all channels in a
group. If doing so would block, it releases all locks, sleeps for a
bit, and tries again. However, once the syncgroup lock is dropped,
nothing prevents the syncgroup structure from being freed.
Fix the inner loop: after waking up, break out of it unconditionally and
start everything again. I think the old code was also buggy and not
well-exercised: after waking up we'd continue to try and continue
locking channels. Then we'd try again from the beginning and fail to
lock the channels we had already locked.
Approved by: so
