Ivan Orlov 37745918e0 ALSA: timer: Introduce virtual userspace-driven timers
Implement two ioctl calls in order to support virtual userspace-driven
ALSA timers.

The first ioctl is SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CREATE, which gets the
snd_timer_uinfo struct as a parameter and puts a file descriptor of a
virtual timer into the `fd` field of the snd_timer_unfo structure. It
also updates the `id` field of the snd_timer_uinfo struct, which
provides a unique identifier for the timer (basically, the subdevice
number which can be used when creating timer instances).

This patch also introduces a tiny id allocator for the userspace-driven
timers, which guarantees that we don't have more than 128 of them in the
system.

Another ioctl is SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TRIGGER, which allows us to trigger
the virtual timer (and calls snd_timer_interrupt for the timer under
the hood), causing all of the timer instances binded to this timer to
execute their callbacks.

The maximum amount of ticks available for the timer is 1 for the sake of
simplicity of the userspace API. 'start', 'stop', 'open' and 'close'
callbacks for the userspace-driven timers are empty since we don't
really do any hardware initialization here.
