ALSA: usb-audio: Initialize every feature unit once at probe time
So far we used to read the current value of the mixer element dynamically at the first access, and the error from a GET_CUR message is treated as a fatal error (unless QUIRK_IGNORE_CTL_ERROR is set). It's rather inconvenient, as most of GET_CUR errors are no fatal, and we can continue operation with assumption of some fixed value. This patch makes the USB-audio driver to change the behavior at probe time; now it tries to initialize the current value of each mixer element that is built from a feature unit (those for typically for mixer volumes and switches). When a read failure happens, it tries to set the known minimum value. After that point, a cached value is used always, hence we won't hit GET_CUR message error any longer. The error from GET_CUR message is still shown as a warning normally, but only once at the probe time, and it'll keep operating. If the message is confirmed to be harmless, it can be shut up by QUIRK_IGNORE_CTL_ERROR quirk flag, too.
