[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: core: group read of pointer, tstamp and jiffies

[Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com>]

Group read of hw_ptr, tstamp and jiffies in a sequence
for better correlation. Previous code took timestamp at the
end, which could introduce delays between audio time and
system time.
