When more than one FE is connected to a BE, e.g. in a mixing use case, the BE can be triggered multiple times when the FE are opened/started concurrently. This race condition is problematic in the case of SoundWire BE dailinks, and this is not desirable in a general case. The code carefully checks when the BE can be stopped or hw_free'ed, but the trigger code does not use any mutual exclusion. Fix by using the same spinlock already used to check FE states, and set the state before the trigger. In case of errors, the initial state will be restored. This patch does not change how the triggers are handled, it only makes sure the states are handled in critical sections.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
