sound: snd_ctl_remove_unlocked_id: simplify user control counting
Move the decrementing of the user controls counter from
snd_ctl_elem_remove to snd_ctl_remove_unlocked_id; this saves the
separate locking of the controls semaphore, and therefore removes
a harmless race.

Since the purpose of the function is to operate on user controls (the
control being unlocked is just a prerequisite), rename it to
snd_ctl_remove_user_ctl.
