ALSA: pcm: Convert SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR to user_access_begin/user_access_end()
With user access protection (Called SMAP on x86 or KUAP on powerpc)
each and every call to get_user() or put_user() performs heavy
operations to unlock and lock kernel access to userspace.
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SYNC_PTR is a hot path which is called really often
and needs to run as fast as possible.
To improve performance, perform user accesses by blocks using
user_access_begin/user_access_end() and unsafe_get_user()/
unsafe_put_user().
Before the patch the 9 calls to put_user() at the end of
snd_pcm_ioctl_sync_ptr_compat() imply the following set of
instructions about 9 times (access_ok - enable user - write - disable
user):

A perf profile shows that in total the 9 put_user() represent 36% of
the time spent in snd_pcm_ioctl() and about 80 instructions.
With this patch everything is done in 13 instructions and represent
only 15% of the time spent in snd_pcm_ioctl():

Note that here the access_ok() in user_write_access_begin() is skipped
because the exact same verification has already been performed at the
beginning of the fonction with the call to user_read_access_begin().
