ALSA: control: Take power_ref lock primarily
The code path for kcontrol accesses have often nested locks of both card's controls_rwsem and power_ref, and applies in that order. However, what could take much longer is the latter, power_ref; it waits for the power state of the device, and it pretty much depends on the user's action. This patch swaps the locking order of those locks to a more natural way, namely, power_ref -> controls_rwsem, in order to shorten the time of possible nested locks. For consistency, power_ref is taken always in the top-level caller side (that is, *_user() functions and the ioctl handler itself).
