Adding movable PCIe BARs support in snd_hda_intel

Just an update, i found the issue which was actually to wake up the HW
before doing stop/restart (using pm_runtime_get_sync), also handled
protecting from concurrent snd_pcm_ioctls accessing the registers
while the BAR is unmapped. Can go through BAR move while aplay is
running now.

Once again, would be happy for any comments on the code -
