ALSA: Introduce snd_BUG_ON() macro

Introduced snd_BUG_ON() macro as a replacement of snd_assert() macro.
snd_assert() is pretty ugly as it has the control flow in its argument.
OTOH, snd_BUG_ON() behaves like a normal conditional, thus it's much
easier to read the flow.

+        The macro takes an conditional expression to evaluate.
+        When <constant>CONFIG_SND_DEBUG</constant>, is set, the
+        expression is actually evaluated. If it's non-zero, it shows
+        the warning message such as
+        <computeroutput>BUG? (xxx)</computeroutput>
+        normally followed by stack trace.  It returns the evaluated
+        value.
+        When no <constant>CONFIG_SND_DEBUG</constant> is set, this
+        macro always returns zero.
