ALSA: hda/cs_dsp_ctl: Fix mutex inversion when creating controls

Redesign the creation of ALSA controls so that the cs_dsp
pwr_lock is not held when calling snd_ctl_add(). Instead of
creating the ALSA control from the cs_dsp control_add callback,
do it after cs_dsp_power_up() has completed. The existing
functions are changed to return void instead of passing errors
back - this duplicates the original behaviour, as cs_dsp does
not abort firmware load if creation of a control fails.

It is safe to walk the control list without taking any mutex
provided that the caller is not trying to load a new firmware
or remove the driver in parallel. There is no other situation
that the list can change. So the caller can trigger creation
of ALSA controls after cs_dsp_power_up() has returned. A cs_dsp
control will have a non-NULL priv pointer if we have created
an ALSA control.

With the previous code the ALSA controls were created from
the cs_dsp control_add callback. But this is called with
pwr_lock held (as it is part of the DSP power-up sequence).
The kernel lock checking will show a mutex inversion between
this and the control creation path:

control_add
  pwr_lock held, takes controls_rwsem (in snd_ctl_add)

get/put
  controls_rwsem held, takes pwr_lock to call cs_dsp.

This is not completely theoretical. Although the time window
is very small, it is possible for these to run in parallel
and deadlock the old implementation.
