The generic parser should evaluate the availability of the independent
HP when specified. Otherwise a DAC without the direct connection to
the corresponding pin may be assigned for the HP, but the driver
doesn't check it at all. The problem was actually seen on some
machines with VT1708s or equivalent codec, where DAC0 is assigned to
HP although it can be connected only via aamix.
This patch adds the badness evaluation for the independent HP to make
it working properly.

The current DSP loader code abuses snd_hda_lock_devices() for ensuring
the DSP loader not conflicting with the other normal operations. But
this trick obviously doesn't work for the PM resume since the streams
are kept opened there where snd_hda_lock_devices() returns -EBUSY.
That means we need another lock mechanism instead of abuse.
This patch provides the new lock state to azx_dev. Theoretically it's
possible that the DSP loader conflicts with the stream that has been
already assigned for another PCM. If it's running, the DSP loader
should simply fail. If not -- it's the case for PM resume --, we
should assign this stream temporarily to the DSP loader, and take it
back to the PCM after finishing DSP loading. If the PCM is operated
during the DSP loading, it should get an error, too.

Creation of individual mixer controls may fail, but that shouldn't cause
the entire mixer creation to fail. Even worse, if the mixer creation
fails, that will error out the entire device probing.
All the functions called by parse_audio_unit() should return -EINVAL if
they find descriptors that are unsupported or believed to be malformed,
so we can safely handle this error code as a non-fatal condition in
snd_usb_mixer_controls().
That fixes a long standing bug which is commonly worked around by
adding quirks which make the driver ignore entire interfaces. Some of
them might now be unnecessary.

In the connection list expansion in hda_codec.c and hda_proc.c, the
value returned from snd_hda_get_num_raw_conns() is used as the array
size to store the connection list. However, the function returns
simply a raw value of the AC_PAR_CONNLIST_LEN parameter, and the
widget list with ranges isn't considered there. Thus it may return a
smaller size than the actual list, which results in -ENOSPC in
snd_hda_get_raw_conections().
This patch fixes the bug by parsing the connection list correctly also
for snd_hda_get_num_raw_conns().

ASoC: Updates for v3.9
A few driver fixes, none of them terribly dramatic.
When a value of a vmaster slave control is changed, the ctl change
notification is sometimes ignored. This happens when the master
control overrides, e.g. when the corresponding master control is
muted. The reason is that slave_put() returns the value of the actual
slave put callback, and it doesn't reflect the virtual slave value
change.
This patch fixes the function just to return 1 whenever a slave value
is changed.

The "dev" variable could be out of bounds. Calling
snd_seq_oss_synth_is_valid() checks that it is is a valid device
which has been opened. We check this inside set_note_event() so
this function can't succeed without a valid "dev". But we need to
do the check earlier to prevent invalid dereferences and memory
corruption.
One call tree where "dev" could be out of bounds is:
-> snd_seq_oss_oob_user()
-> snd_seq_oss_process_event()
-> extended_event()
-> note_on_event()
