ALSA: oss: Fix potential deadlock at unregistration
We took sound_oss_mutex around the calls of unregister_sound_special() at unregistering OSS devices. This may, however, lead to a deadlock, because we manage the card release via the card's device object, and the release may happen at unregister_sound_special() call -- which will take sound_oss_mutex again in turn. Although the deadlock might be fixed by relaxing the rawmidi mutex in the previous commit, it's safer to move unregister_sound_special() calls themselves out of the sound_oss_mutex, too. The call is race-safe as the function has a spinlock protection by itself.
