The comment clearly says that we do want all userspace devices to be
closed. This was added in 83bfc7e793b5 ("ASoC: SOF: core: unregister
clients and machine drivers in .shutdown") precisely to avoid a platform
hang if the devices are used after the shutdown completes.

So you are not fixing 83bfc7e793b5, just re-adding a problem to fix
another one...
