ALSA: pcm: Call snd_pcm_unlink() conditionally at closing
Currently the PCM core calls snd_pcm_unlink() always unconditionally
at closing a stream. However, since snd_pcm_unlink() invokes the
global rwsem down, the lock can be easily contended. More badly, when
a thread runs in a high priority RT-FIFO, it may stall at spinning.
Basically the call of snd_pcm_unlink() is required only for the linked
streams that are already rare occasion. For normal use cases, this
code path is fairly superfluous.
As an optimization (and also as a workaround for the RT problem
above in normal situations without linked streams), this patch adds a
check before calling snd_pcm_unlink() and calls it only when needed.
