[ALSA] Remove PCM xfer_align sw params

The xfer_align sw_params parameter has never been used in a sane manner,
and no one understands what this does exactly.  The current
implementation looks also buggy because it allows write of shorter size
than xfer_align.  So, if you do partial writes, the write isn't actually
aligned at all.
Removing this parameter will make some pcm_lib_* code more readable
(and less buggy).
