[PATCH] ALSA: HDA: Add position_fix=3 module option, and refactor related code

[David Henningsson]

What was previously known as via_dmapos_patch, and hard-coded to be
used for VIA and ATI controllers, is now configurable through a module
option. The background is that some VIA controllers seem to prefer
via_dmapos_patch to be turned off.
