Add a check to cs_dsp_coeff_write_ctrl() to abort if the control is not writeable. The cs_dsp code originated as an ASoC driver (wm_adsp) where all controls were exported as ALSA controls. It relied on ALSA to enforce the read-only permission. Now that the code has been separated from ALSA/ASoC it must perform its own permission check. This isn't currently causing any problems so there shouldn't be any need to backport this. If the client of cs_dsp exposes the control as an ALSA control, it should set permissions on that ALSA control to protect it. The few uses of cs_dsp_coeff_write_ctrl() inside drivers are for writable controls.
