Subject: ALSA: hda - Fix deadlock at error in building PCM

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit d289619a219dd01e255d7b5e30f9171b25efea48 upstream.

The HDA codec driver issues snd_hda_codec_reset() at the error path of
PCM build.  This was needed in the earlier code base, but the recent
rewrite to use the standard bus binding made this a deadlock:
 modprobe        D 0000000000000005     0   720    716 0x00000080

The simple fix is just to remove this call, since we don't need to
think about unbinding at there any longer.
