Commit 62d5ae4cafb7 ("ASoC: max98090: save and restore SHDN when changing
sensitive registers") extended the code for handling many controls by
adding a custom put function to them. That new custom put function
properly handles relations between codec's hardware registers. However
they used card->dapm_mutex to properly serialize those operations. This
in turn triggers a lockdep warning about possible circular dependency.
Fix this by introducing a separate mutex only for serializing the SHDN
hardware register related operations.

This fixes the following lockdep warning observed on Exynos4412-based
Odroid U3 board:

2.17.1

This fix makes less sense to me.  We used dapm_mutex intentionally
because: both DAPM and userspace mixer control would change SHDN bit
at the same time.

As the stack trace suggested: when the card was still registering,
alsactl can see the mixer control and try to change it.

We have a discussion on an older thread
(https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2019-December/160454.html).
It is weird: userspace should not see things (e.g. no controlC0) until
snd_card_register( ).

I would like to spend some time to find the root cause.  It would be a
little challenging though (I have no real runtime to test...).

Nope. This is just a lockdep warning about possible hypothetical 
situation on the test system during the normal boot. It doesn't mean 
that the circular dependency actually happens (if so, it would end in 
deadlock). It also doesn't mean that such circular dependency can be 
really triggered, because some other dependencies that not known to 
lockdep engine might protect against it. However the easiest way to fix 
it is to use fine-grained locking instead of reusing some framework 
locks for other purposes. Such approach is also usually a good practice.

We should not use a separate lock.  Either mixer control or DAPM would
change the SHDN bit.  The patch overlooks the calling path from DAPM.
As a result, DAPM can change the bit in the middle of mixer control.

If the possible circular locking is a hypothetical situation, shall we
ignore it since we are very sure userspace cannot see the control
devices when building the sound card?

alsactl/1104 is trying to acquire lock:

which lock already depends on the new lock.
