ALSA: Make control API taking controls_rwsem consistently
A few ALSA control API helpers like snd_ctl_rename(), snd_ctl_remove()
and snd_ctl_find_*() suppose the callers taking card->controls_rwsem.
But it's error-prone and fragile. This patch set tries to change
those API functions to take the card->controls>rwsem internally by

For reducing the unnecessary use of controls_rwsem in the drivers,
this patch adds a new variant for snd_ctl_find_*() helpers:
snd_ctl_find_id_locked() and snd_ctl_find_numid_locked() look for a
kctl element inside the card->controls_rwsem -- that is, doing the
very same as what snd_ctl_find_id() and snd_ctl_find_numid() did until
now. snd_ctl_find_id() and snd_ctl_find_numid() remain same,
i.e. still unlocked version, but they will be switched to locked
version once after all callers are replaced.
The patch also replaces the calls of snd_ctl_find_id() and
snd_ctl_find_numid() in a few places; all of those are places where we
know that the functions are called properly with controls_rwsem held.
All others are without rwsem (although they should have been).
After this patch, we'll turn on the locking in snd_ctl_find_id() and
snd_ctl_find_numid() to be more race-free.

So far, snd_ctl_remove() requires its caller to take
card->controls_rwsem manually before the call for avoiding possible
races. However, many callers don't care and miss the locking.
Basically it's cumbersome and error-prone to enforce it to each
caller. Moreover, card->controls_rwsem is a field that should be used
only by internal or proper helpers, and it's not to be touched at
random external places.
This patch is an attempt to make those calls more consistent: now
snd_ctl_remove() takes the card->controls_rwsem internally, just like
other API functions for kctls. Since a few callers already take the
controls_rwsem locks, the patch removes those locks at the same time,
too.

This uses IRQs to track spontaneous changes to the word clock source
register.
FWIW, that this can happen in the first place is the reason why it is
futile to lock the clock source mixer setting while the device is open -
we can't consistently control the rate anyway. Though arguably, we
should reset any open streams when that happens, as they become
corrupted anyway.

The mixer, PCM prepare, MIDI, synth driver, and procfs callbacks are all
always invoked with IRQs enabled, so there is no point in saving the
state.
snd_emu1010_load_firmware_entry() is called from emu1010_firmware_work()
and snd_emu10k1_emu1010_init(); the latter from snd_emu10k1_create() and
snd_emu10k1_resume(), all of which have IRQs enabled.
The voice and memory functions are called from mixed contexts, so they
keep the state saving.
The low-level functions all keep the state saving, because it's not
feasible to keep track of what is called where.

This is only a very partial fix - the frequency-dependent envelope & LFO
register values aren't adjusted.
But I'm not sure they were even correct at 48 kHz to start with, as most
of them are precalculated by common code which assumes an EMU8K-specific
44.1 kHz word clock, and it seems somewhat unlikely that the hardware's
register interpretation was adjusted to compensate for the different
word clock.
In any case I'm not going to spend time on fixing that, as this code is
unlikely to be actually used by anyone today.

The value isn't used yet; the subsequent commits will do that.
This ignores the existence of rates above 48 kHz, which is fine, as the
hardware will just switch to the fallback clock source when fed with a
rate which is incompatible with the base clock multiplier, which
currently is always x1.
The sample rate display in /proc spdif-in is adjusted to reflect our
understanding of the input rates.
This is tested only with an 0404b card without sync card, so there is a
lot of room for improvement.

So far, we set the fallback as a side effect of setting the source. But
the fallback makes no sense at all when an internal clock is selected.
Defaulting to 48k for S/PDIF & ADAT makes sense, but as that is the
global default and we're not changing it automatically any more, it's
just fine to leave it entirely to the explicit setting.
This changes the name of the pre-existing control to something more
appropriate (regardless of the split), so users will need to adjust
their mixer settings.

On SB cards the number of captured channels is derived from the voice
mask mixer control. But for E-MU cards this wasn't actually "wired up",
so changing the mask would simply mess up the recording.
We could fix that, but the channel routing through the FPGA makes the
masking redundant. So instead we hide the control, and let the user
specify the PCM channel count the traditional way.

in one block any more, as there is no reason to do that. As a
