Subject: [PATCH 24/43] pcm: Disable locking in async mode
When PCM is operated in async mode and an async handler calls some PCM
functions with lock during other PCM operations, we may hit a
deadlock.
Although async mode is rarely used, it's still a possible use case.
Disable the locking when the stream is opened in async mode or it's
set to async mode via snd_pcm_async().
