ALSA: Create sysfs attribute files via groups
Instead of calling each time device_create_file(), create the groups
of sysfs attribute files at once in a normal way. Add a new helper
function, snd_get_device(), to return the associated device object,
so that we can handle the sysfs addition locally.
Since the sysfs file addition is done differently now,
snd_add_device_sysfs_file() helper function is removed.
