[PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Apply implicit feedback mode for BOSS devices

Thanks for your help with this, Takashi.

I have tested this patch on BOSS GT-1 and BOSS Katana, so we have a fairly
high degree of confidence that it will work on the other BOSS devices.

It may well help with other similar Roland devices. If your device has
playback working, but with occasional pops/clicks in the audio stream, it
is worth trying to add the IMPLICIT_FB_BOTH_DEV quirk for the device.
