Although we have already a mechanism for sanity checks of input values
for control writes, it's not applied unless the kconfig
CONFIG_SND_CTL_INPUT_VALIDATION is set due to the performance reason.
Nevertheless, it still makes sense to apply the check for user
elements despite of its cost, as that's the only way to filter out the
invalid values; the user controls are handled solely in ALSA core
code, and there is no corresponding driver, after all.

This patch enables the input value validation for user control
elements no matter whether CONFIG_SND_CTL_INPUT_VALIDATION is set or
not.  The kselftest will be happier with this change, as the incorrect
values will be bailed out now with errors.

For other normal controls, the check is applied still only when
CONFIG_SND_CTL_INPUT_VALIDATION is set.

The info structure for user elements may be used directly without this 
intermediate variable for the validation. But it may be a possible future 
improvement.
