snd-pcsp: use HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ

Change HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE to HRTIMER_CB_SOFTIRQ,
as suggested by Thomas Gleixner.
That solves the lock dependancy reported in
Bug #10701.
That also allows to call hrtimer_start()
directly, tasklet "stupid hack" removed.

- * We need the hrtimer_start as a tasklet to avoid

- * The problem:
- * - The timer handler is called with the cpu_base->lock
- *   already held by hrtimer code.
- * - snd_pcm_period_elapsed() takes the
- *   substream->self_group.lock.
- * So far so good.
- * But the snd_pcsp_trigger() is called with the
- * substream->self_group.lock held, and it calls
- * hrtimer_start(), which takes the cpu_base->lock.
- * You see the problem. We have the code pathes
- * which take two locks in a reverse order. This
- * can deadlock and the lock validator complains.
- * The only solution I could find was to move the
- * hrtimer_start() into a tasklet. -stsp
