ALSA: hda: allow direct complete with a powered-off GPU

This commit allows direct complete during system suspend for HDA
controllers bound to a powered-off switcheroo GPU. It returns 1
in azx_prepare() if the discrete GPU is runtime suspended and
switched off.

[Severity: High]
Does returning early here bypass setting chip->pm_prepared = 1?

If the PM core aborts direct-complete (for example, if a user enables
wakeup via sysfs, or another device fails to suspend), the fallback
suspend path will execute.

Because chip->pm_prepared is left as 0, when the PCI core triggers a
runtime resume, wouldn't __azx_runtime_resume() incorrectly queue
asynchronous codec resumes via pm_request_resume()?

Could these async resumes execute on the pm_wq workqueue concurrently with
azx_suspend() shutting down the HDA controller, leading to MMIO faults or
system lockups?
