ALSA: control: code refactoring for ELEM_READ/ELEM_WRITE operations

ALSA control core handles ELEM_READ/ELEM_WRITE requests within lock
acquisition of a counting semaphore. The lock is acquired in helper
functions in the end of call path before calling implementations of each
driver.

ioctl(2) with SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_READ
...
->snd_ctl_ioctl()
  ->snd_ctl_elem_read_user()
    ->snd_ctl_elem_read()
      ->down_read(controls_rwsem)
      ->snd_ctl_find_id()
      ->struct snd_kcontrol.get()
      ->up_read(controls_rwsem)

ioctl(2) with SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_WRITE
...
->snd_ctl_ioctl()
  ->snd_ctl_elem_write_user()
    ->snd_ctl_elem_write()
      ->down_read(controls_rwsem)
      ->snd_ctl_find_id()
      ->struct snd_kcontrol.put()
      ->up_read(controls_rwsem)

This commit moves the lock acquisition to middle of the call graph to
simplify the helper functions. As a result:

ioctl(2) with SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_READ
...
->snd_ctl_ioctl()
  ->snd_ctl_elem_read_user()
    ->down_read(controls_rwsem)
    ->snd_ctl_elem_read()
      ->snd_ctl_find_id()
      ->struct snd_kcontrol.get()
    ->up_read(controls_rwsem)

ioctl(2) with SNDRV_CTL_ELEM_WRITE
...
->snd_ctl_ioctl()
  ->snd_ctl_elem_write_user()
    ->down_read(controls_rwsem)
    ->snd_ctl_elem_write()
      ->snd_ctl_find_id()
      ->struct snd_kcontrol.put()
    ->up_read(controls_rwsem)
