This is in fact more symmetrical to snd_ctl_remove() than snd_ctl_add()
is - the former could be named snd_ctl_remove_locked() just as well.
One may argue that this is going in the wrong direction, as drivers have
no business managing the lock. This may be true in principle, but in
practice the vast majority of controls is created even before the device
was registered, and therefore before any locking is necessary at all.
That means that an even more radical approach of changing snd_ctl_add()
to do no locking, and converting the call sites that actually need
locking to a new function, would better match reality, and would be
somewhat more efficient at that. However, that seems a bit risky and way
too much work.
This will be used to dynamically change the available controls from
another control's put() callback, which is already locked.
One might want to add snd_ctl_replace_locked() for completeness, but I
have no use for it now.

applying this upstream would simplify applying the emu10k1 high bit-rate
patchset locally, as it would limit the affected modules to the driver
itself.
v3:
- fixed typo in commit message
v2:
- extended commit message
