ALSA: Add debug module option
Add debug module option to snd core. This controls the debug print level. When CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_VERBOSE is set, you can suppress the debug messages by giving or changing this parameter to a lower value. debug=0 means no debug messsages. As default, it's set to the verbose level 2. Since this option can be changed dynamically via sysfs file, you can suppress the verbose debug messages on the fly, which wasn't possible before.
