Patch Review

**Incomplete fix =E2=80=94 READ_ONCE without WRITE_ONCE:** The patch uses `=
READ_ONCE()` on the read side:
```c
sess =3D READ_ONCE(core->cur_sess);
```
But the writes to `core->cur_sess` in patches 2 and 5 are plain stores prot=
ected by a mutex:
```c
core->cur_sess =3D sess;   /* in start_streaming */
core->cur_sess =3D NULL;   /* in stop_streaming */
```
For `READ_ONCE()` to be meaningful, the matching writes should use `WRITE_O=
NCE()`. Without it, the compiler could still tear the write, though in prac=
tice pointer writes on ARM64 are atomic. Still, for correctness, `WRITE_ONC=
E()` should be added to the write side.

**Insufficient fix =E2=80=94 TOCTOU on session fields:** Even with the NULL=
 check, there's a race:
```c
sess =3D READ_ONCE(core->cur_sess);
if (!sess)
    return IRQ_NONE;
/* sess could be freed right here by stop_streaming */
sess->last_irq_jiffies =3D get_jiffies_64();
```
After the NULL check, `stop_streaming` can still run, clear `cur_sess`, and=
 proceed to free session resources. The session pointer obtained by READ_ON=
CE is not pinned. This requires either:
- Disabling interrupts during teardown (`disable_irq()` before clearing `cu=
r_sess`), or
- Using RCU to protect the session pointer, or
- Some other synchronization.

The IRQ is registered with `IRQF_ONESHOT` and uses a threaded handler, so `=
disable_irq_nosync()` / `synchronize_irq()` before clearing `cur_sess` woul=
d be the typical kernel pattern.

**Unnecessary variable:** The `ret` variable in `vdec_isr`:
```c
irqreturn_t ret =3D IRQ_HANDLED;
...
ret =3D sess->fmt_out->codec_ops->isr(sess);
return ret;
```
The initial assignment `ret =3D IRQ_HANDLED` is dead code since `ret` is un=
conditionally overwritten. Just return the call result directly.
