ALSA: Fix double locking of card list in snd_card_register()
The introduction of snd_card_set_id() added a lock on the card list to the old choose_default_id() function when using it to implement the new API call. This lock is needed to allow us to walk the list and check to see if our new name is a duplicate. Unfortunately this causes a lockup when called from snd_card_register() (in cases where no ID is supplied for the card) since the card list is already locked there. Fix this fairly hideously by factoring out the implementation and using a flag to indicate if the lock should be held. A better fix would probably be to refactor snd_card_register() to move the _set_id() outside the locking region but I can't immediately see anything I can convince myself is safe.
