sound updates for 4.15-rc1

There are no big surprising changes in this cycle, yet not too
boring, either.  The biggest change from diffstat POV is the removal
of the legacy OSS driver codes that have been already disabled for a
long time.  This will bring a few trivial merge conflicts.

As new features in ASoC side, there are two things: a new AC97 bus
implementation and AMD Stony platform support.  Both include the
relevant changes shared with other subsystems, e.g. AC97 MFD changes
and DRM AMD changes.

Some other highlighted topics are:
- A bunch of USB-audio drivers got the hardening against the malicious
  device accesses with a new helper code for endpoint sanity check.
- Lots of cleanups for ASoC Intel platform code, including support for
  their open source audio firmware.
- Continued ASoC core componentization works.
- Support for scaling MCLK with sample rate in ASoC simple-card.
- Stabler PCM hot-unplug capability, especially for ASoC usages.

sound fixes for 4.14

The amount of the changes isn't as quite small as wished, nevertheless
they are straight fixes that deserve merging to 4.14 final.

Most of fixes are about ALSA core bugs spotted by fuzzer: a follow-up
fix for the previous nested rwsem patch, a fix to avoid the resource
hogs due to too many concurrent ALSA timer invocations, and a fix for
a crash with SYSEX MIDI transfer over OSS sequencer emulation that is
used by none but fuzzer.

The rest are usual HD-audio and USB-audio device-specific quirks,
which are safe to apply.
