Subject: ALSA: hda - Fix missing module loading with model=generic option

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>

commit bca8e988043e39483afd7872a2641f03ed7201a6 upstream.

When the generic codec driver is specified via model option or such,
the hda driver doesn't try to load the generic driver module but still
loads the codec-specific driver, and this ends up with the binding
failure.

This patch fixes it by moving the generic module request in the common
helper code.
