if () with snd_BUG_ON().

When compiled with CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS the ALSA core is fine
to have more than 8 PCM devices per card, except one place - the
SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_PCM_NEXT_DEVICE ioctl, which will not enumerate
devices > 7. This patch fixes the issue, changing the devices list
organisation.

Instead of adding new device to the tail, the list is now kept always
ordered (by card number, then device number). Thus, during enumeration,
it is easy to discover the fact that there is no more given card's
devices.

Additionally the device field of struct snd_pcm had to be changed to int,
as its "unsignednity" caused a lot of problems when comparing it to
potentially negative signed values. (-1 is 0xffffffff or even more then ;-)

Instead of adding new device to the tail, the list is now kept always
ordered (by card number, then device number). Thus, during enumeration,
it is easy to discover the fact that there is no more given card's
devices. The same limit was present in OSS emulation code. It has
been fixed as well.

Additionally the device field of struct snd_pcm is now int, instead of
unsigned int, as there is no obvious reason for keeping it unsigned.
This caused a lot of problems with comparing this value with other
(almost always signed) variables. There is just one more place where
device number is unsigned - in struct snd_pcm_info, which should be
also sorted out in future.

The PCM and rawmidi open callbacks have a lock against card->controls_list
but it takes a wrong one, card->controls_rwsem, instead of a right one
card->ctl_files_rwlock.  This patch fixes them.

This change also fixes automatically the potential deadlocks due to
mm->mmap_sem in munmap and copy_from/to_user, reported by Sitsofe
Wheeler:

  A: snd_ctl_elem_user_tlv(): card->controls_rwsem => mm->mmap_sem
  B: snd_pcm_open(): card->open_mutex => card->controls_rwsem
  C: munmap: mm->mmap_sem => snd_pcm_release(): card->open_mutex

The patch breaks the chain.

Change semantics for SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_MMAP. Doing timestamping only in
the interrupt handler might cause that hw_ptr is not related to actual
timestamp. With this change, grab timestamp at every hw_ptr update to
have always valid timestamp + ring buffer position pair.
With this change, SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_MMAP was renamed to
SNDRV_PCM_TSTAMP_ENABLE. It's no regression (I think).

This header file exists only for some hacks to adapt alsa-driver
tree.  It's useless for building in the kernel.  Let's move a few
lines in it to sound/core.h and remove it.
With this patch, sound/driver.h isn't removed but has just a single
compile warning to include it.  This should be really killed in
future.

The 'tick' in PCM is set (again) via sw_params.  And, nobody uses
this feature at all except for a command line option of aplay.
(This is literally 'nobody', as I checked alsa-lib API calls in all
 programs in major distros.)
Above all, if we need finer wake-ups for the position update, it's
basically an issue that the driver should solve, not tuned by each
application.

The xfer_align sw_params parameter has never been used in a sane manner,
and no one understands what this does exactly.  The current
implementation looks also buggy because it allows write of shorter size
than xfer_align.  So, if you do partial writes, the write isn't actually
aligned at all.
Removing this parameter will make some pcm_lib_* code more readable
(and less buggy).
