[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/3] ASoC: core - Add card mutex locking subclasses

This is the first part of a change that is intended to improve
ASoC locking protection for DAPM and PCM operations.

We currently use the codec->mutex for locking some DAPM operations.
This can't guarantee correctness now with the recent multi-component
and forth coming Dynamic PCM updates.

This part of the series adds a mutex class for the soc_card mutex. The
SND_SOC_CARD_CLASS_INIT class is used for card initialisation only whilst the
SND_SOC_CARD_CLASS_PCM class is used for all the DAPM and forth coming Dynamic
PCM operations. The new mutex classes are required otherwise we will see a false
positive mutex deadlock warning between the card initialisation and the DAPM
operations (something that would never deadlock in real life).
