correct ... on blackfin, __USER_LABEL_PREFIX__ is defined to _

so when you have a function foo() in C, the actual ELF symbol is _foo ... the 
asm() tricks to do symbol aliasing then fail as they try to manipulate the 
ELF symbol foo which doesnt exist

this is my first time hacking on ALSA code so i'll of course defer to anyone 
with more experience :)  i added this as a sanity check rather than digging 
through the include paths in the headers

if it isnt needed then simply disregard that hunk :)
