[PATCH 3.5 38/78] ALSA: hda - Move one-time init codes from generic_hdmi_init()

[Luis Henriques]

3.5.7.26 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@xxxxxxx>

commit 8b8d654b55648561287bd8baca0f75f964a17038 upstream.

The codes to initialize work struct or create a proc interface should
be called only once and never although it's called many times through
the init callback.  Move that stuff into patch_generic_hdmi() so that
it's called only once.

This is being backported to 3.4 and 3.5 due to prevention of kernel
panic. The kernel panic was observed by executing
'cat /proc/asound/card0/codec0' on a particular machine, which was
 - running in battery mode
 - having an external HDMI monitor connected
 - running the fglrx driver.

In short, the one-time init code initializes a delayed_work struct.
Then, I believe the following happened:
 1) the delayed_work was activated
 2) the delayed_work struct was reinitialized by the init code
 3) when the delayed_work timed out (ready to run the callback function),
    the kernel panic happened because the delayed_work struct had
    been corrupted in step 2.
