ALSA: pcm: Introduce copy_user, copy_kernel and fill_silence ops
For supporting the explicit in-kernel copy of PCM buffer data, and also for further code refactoring, three new PCM ops, copy_user, copy_kernel and fill_silence, are introduced. The old copy and silence ops will be deprecated and removed later once when all callers are converted. The copy_kernel ops is the new one, and it's supposed to transfer the PCM data from the given kernel buffer to the hardware ring-buffer (or vice-versa depending on the stream direction), while the copy_user ops is equivalent with the former copy ops, to transfer the data from the user-space buffer. The major difference of the new copy_* and fill_silence ops from the previous ops is that the new ops take bytes instead of frames for size and position arguments. It has two merits: first, it allows the callback implementation often simpler (just call directly memcpy() & co), and second, it may unify the implementations of both interleaved and non-interleaved cases, as we'll see in the later patch. As of this stage, copy_kernel ops isn't referred yet, but only copy_user is used.
