ALSA: firewire-lib: operate for period elapse event in process context

Browse Source 
All of drivers in ALSA firewire stack processes two chances to process
isochronous packets in any isochronous context; in software IRQ context
for 1394 OHCI, and in process context of ALSA PCM application.

In the process context, callbacks of .pointer and .ack are utilized. The
callbacks are done by ALSA PCM core under acquiring lock of PCM substream,

In design of ALSA PCM core, call of snd_pcm_period_elapsed() is used for
drivers to awaken user processes from waiting for available frames. The
function voluntarily acquires lock of PCM substream, therefore it is not
called in the process context since it causes dead lock.

As a workaround to avoid the dead lock, all of drivers in ALSA firewire
stack uses workqueue to delegate the call. A variant of
snd_pcm_period_elapsed() without lock acquisition can obsolete the
workqueue.

An extra care is needed for the callback of .pointer since it's called
from snd_pcm_period_elapsed(). The isochronous context in Linux FireWire
subsystem is safe mostly for nested call except in software IRQ context.
