PATCH 1/1 ALSA: emu10k1: don't deadlock in proc-functions

The functions snd_emu10k1_proc_spdif_read and snd_emu1010_fpga_read acquire the emu_lock before accessing the FPGA. The function used to access the FPGA (snd_emu1010_fpga_read) also tries to take the emu_lock which causes a deadlock.
Remove the outer locking in the proc-functions (guarding only the already safe fpga read) to prevent this deadlock.

Oh, this is a really old bug. Thanks for spotting out. Applied now with additional fixes (removing superfluous flags variables causing compile warnings).
