[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: pcm: fix snd_pcm_link() lockdep splat

Add and use snd_pcm_stream_lock_nested() in snd_pcm_link/unlink
implementation. The code is fine, but generates a lockdep complaint:

============================================
WARNING: possible recursive locking detected
5.7.1mq+ #381 Tainted: G O
--------------------------------------------
pulseaudio/4180 is trying to acquire lock:
ffff888402d6f508 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xda8/0xee0 [snd_pcm]

but task is already holding lock:
ffff8883f7a8cf18 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xe4e/0xee0 [snd_pcm]

other info that might help us debug this:
Possible unsafe locking scenario:

CPU0
----
lock(&group->lock);
lock(&group->lock);

*** DEADLOCK ***

May be due to missing lock nesting notation

2 locks held by pulseaudio/4180:
#0: ffffffffa1a05190 (snd_pcm_link_rwsem){++++}-{3:3}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xca0/0xee0 [snd_pcm]
#1: ffff8883f7a8cf18 (&group->lock){-...}-{2:2}, at: snd_pcm_common_ioctl+0xe4e/0xee0 [snd_pcm]
[...]
