Subject: ALSA: hda - Fix deadlock at error in building PCM

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

commit d289619a219dd01e255d7b5e30f9171b25efea48 upstream.

The HDA codec driver issues snd_hda_codec_reset() at the error path of PCM build. This was needed in the earlier code base, but the recent rewrite to use the standard bus binding made this a deadlock:
modprobe D 0000000000000005 0 720 716 0x00000080

The simple fix is just to remove this call, since we don't need to think about unbinding at there any longer.
