ALSA: Enable PCM hw_ptr_jiffies check only in xrun_debug mode
The PCM hw_ptr jiffies check results sometimes in problems when a
hardware doesn't give smooth hw_ptr updates. So far, au88x0 and some
other drivers appear not working due to this strict check.
However, this check is a nice debug tool, and the capability should be
still kept.
Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it
by setting the xrun_debug mode to the specific stream via a proc file.
