[Impact]
There exists a vulnerability triggering trace in ALSA PCM package for
specifically 32-bit machines which consequences in calling a sequence sensitive
function without a lock. This issue may lead to a use-after-free that results
in a priviledge escalation.

[Backport]
Clean cherry pick on both releases.

[Test]
Compile and smoke tested.

[Potential Regression]
Potential regression resides in `control.c` and `control_compat.c` files with
likely low risk.
