ALSA: core: Add device-managed page allocator helper
This is a preparation for allowing devres usages more widely in various sound drivers. As a first step, this patch adds a new allocator function, snd_devm_alloc_pages(), to manage the allocated pages via devres, so that the pages will be automagically released as device unbinding. Unlike the old snd_dma_alloc_pages(), the new function returns directly the snd_dma_buffer pointer. The caller needs NULL-check for the allocation error appropriately. Also, since a real device pointer is mandatory for devres, SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_CONTINUOUS or SNDRV_DMA_TYPE_VMALLOC type can't be used for this function.
