Implement two ioctl calls in order to support virtual userspace-driven ALSA timers.
The first ioctl is SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_CREATE, which gets the snd_utimer_info struct as a parameter and returns a file descriptor of a virtual timer. It also updates the `id` field of the snd_utimer_info struct, which provides a unique identifier for the timer (basically, the subdevice number which can be used when creating timer instances).
This patch also introduces a tiny id allocator for the userspace-driven timers, which guarantees that we don't have more than 128 of them in the system.
Another ioctl is SNDRV_TIMER_IOCTL_TRIGGER, which allows us to trigger the virtual timer (and calls snd_timer_interrupt for the timer under the hood), causing all of the timer instances binded to this timer to execute their callbacks.
The maximum amount of ticks available for the timer is 1 for the sake of simplification of the userspace API. 'start', 'stop', 'open' and 'close' callbacks for the userspace-driven timers are empty since we don't really do any hardware initialization here.
