This fix makes less sense to me.  We used dapm_mutex intentionally
because: both DAPM and userspace mixer control would change SHDN bit
at the same time.

As the stack trace suggested: when the card was still registering,
alsactl can see the mixer control and try to change it.

We have a discussion on an older thread
(https://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2019-December/160454.html).
It is weird: userspace should not see things (e.g. no controlC0) until
snd_card_register( ).

I would like to spend some time to find the root cause.  It would be a
little challenging though (I have no real runtime to test...).
