IMO, the fix above brought more problem. If you'd need to want to
avoid later accesses during shutdown, the driver should rather just
disconnect devices without waiting for the user-space completion.
And, for that, a simple call of snd_card_disconnect() should suffice.

... and skipping the user-space sync at snd_card_disconnect_sync() as
of this patch set is a dangerous move, I'm afraid. The user-space
gets frozen also at the normal suspend/resume, and it implies that the
sync will be lost even for the normal PM, too (although it must be a
very corner case).
