ALSA: mpu401: clean up interrupt specification

The semantics of snd_mpu401_uart_new()'s interrupt parameters are
somewhat counterintuitive:  To prevent the function from allocating its
own interrupt, either the irq number must be invalid, or the irq_flags
parameter must be zero.  At the same time, the irq parameter being
invalid specifies that the mpu401 code has to work without an interrupt
allocated by the caller.  This implies that, if there is an interrupt
and it is allocated by the caller, the irq parameter must be set to
a valid-looking number which then isn't actually used.

With the removal of IRQF_DISABLED, zero becomes a valid irq_flags value,
which forces us to handle the parameters differently.

This patch introduces a new flag MPU401_INFO_IRQ_HOOK for when the
device interrupt is handled by the caller, and makes the allocation of
the interrupt to depend only on the irq parameter.  As suggested by
Takashi, the irq_flags parameter was dropped because, when used, it had
the constant value IRQF_DISABLED.

The 6th argument specifies the irq number for UART. If the irq
is already allocated, pass 0 to the 7th argument
(<parameter>irq_flags</parameter>). Otherwise, pass the flags
for irq allocation
(<constant>SA_XXX</constant> bits) to it, and the irq will be
reserved by the mpu401-uart layer. If the card doesn't generate
UART interrupts, pass -1 as the irq number. Then a timer
interrupt will be invoked for polling.
The 6th argument specifies the ISA irq number that will be
allocated. If no interrupt is to be allocated (because your
code is already allocating a shared interrupt, or because the
device does not use interrupts), pass -1 instead.
For a MPU-401 device without an interrupt, a polling timer
will be used instead.
