ALSA: pcm: Introduce managed buffer allocation mode

This patch adds the support for the feature to automatically allocate
and free PCM buffers, so called "managed buffer allocation" mode.
It's set up via new PCM helpers, snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer() and
snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer_all(), both of which correspond to the
existing preallocator helpers, snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages() and
snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages_for_all().  When the new helper is used,
it not only performs the pre-allocation of buffers, but also it
manages to call snd_pcm_lib_malloc_pages() before the PCM hw_params
ops and snd_lib_pcm_free() after the PCM hw_free ops inside PCM core,
respectively.  This allows drivers to drop the explicit calls of the
memory allocation / release functions, and it will be a good amount of
code reduction in the end of this patch series.

When the PCM substream is set to the managed buffer allocation mode,
the managed_buffer_alloc flag is set in the substream object.  Since
some drivers want to know when a buffer is newly allocated or
re-allocated at hw_params callback (e.g. want to set up the additional
stuff for the given buffer only at allocation time), now PCM core
turns on buffer_changed flag when the buffer has changed.

The standard conversions to use the new API will be straightforward:
- Replace snd_pcm_lib_preallocate*() calls with the corresponding
  snd_pcm_set_managed_buffer*(); the arguments should be unchanged
- Drop superfluous snd_pcm_lib_malloc() and snd_pcm_lib_free() calls;
  the check of snd_pcm_lib_malloc() returns should be replaced with
  the check of runtime->buffer_changed flag.
- If hw_params or hw_free becomes empty, drop them from PCM ops
