Maciej Strozek 86cac980c9 ALSA: control: add ioctl to retrieve full card components
The fixed-size components field in SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_CARD_INFO can be too
small on systems with many audio devices.

Keep the existing struct snd_ctl_card_info ABI intact and add a new
ioctl SNDRV_CTL_IOCTL_CARD_BYTES that carries a variable-length payload
selected by a type discriminator. The first defined type
SND_CTL_CARD_BTYPE_COMPONENTS returns the full components string. The
ioctl is designed to be reused for other variable-length card payloads
in the future.

The user-space caller may set data_allocated == 0 (or data == NULL) to
query the required length; otherwise the kernel copies the payload into
the user buffer and writes back the actual length in data_len.

When the legacy components field in struct snd_ctl_card_info is
truncated, '>' is written just before the NUL terminator to signal to
user-space that the full string is available via the new ioctl.

card->components is now dynamically allocated and grown in 32 byte
increments via krealloc(), capped at 512 bytes.
