[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hda - rename function not_share_unassigned_cvt()

From: Mengdong Lin <mengdong.lin at intel.com>

The function name not_share_unassigned_cvt() is opposite to what it does.
This patch renames it to intel_not_share_assigned_cvt(), and addes comments
to explain why some Intel display codecs need this workaround.
