That would be supposed to fix the LOR message. But I'd like to keep
lock ordering between snd_mutex and sndstat_lock. Since sndstat_read()
could be called at any time there is an implicit lock order.
I think switching to sx lock from mutex in sndstat code was to allow
uiomove with lock held. IMO, it would be even better to rewrite
sndstat_read() without using uiomove such that it can also use
standard mutex rather than sx lock.
