mode_store() updates led->mode while holding
snd_ctl_led_mutex.
However, snd_ctl_led_set_state() and mode_show() read this
field without holding the same mutex.
This can cause a data race when userspace changes the mode
while another path reads it.
Read the mode under snd_ctl_led_mutex in
snd_ctl_led_set_state() and use the local value after
releasing the mutex.
Also protect the mode read in mode_show() with the mutex.
