ALSA: hda: Avoid racy recreation of widget kobjects
The refresh of HD-audio widget sysfs kobjects via snd_hdac_refresh_widget_sysfs() is slightly racy. The driver recreates the whole tree from scratch after deleting the whole. When CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE option is used, kobject release doesn't happen immediately but delayed, while the re-creation of the same named kobject happens soon after invoking kobject_put(). This may end up with the conflicts of duplicated kobjects, as found in the bug report below. In this patch, we take another approach to refresh the tree: instead of recreating the whole tree, just add the new nodes and delete the non-existing nodes. Since the refresh happens only once at initialization, no longer race would happen. Along with the code change, merge snd_hdac_refresh_widget_sysfs() with the existing snd_hdac_refresh_widgets() with an additional bool flag for simplifying the code.
