pcm: Add LIBASOUND_THREAD_SAFE env variable check
For making the debugging with any deadlocks by the newly introduced thread-safety feature, add a check with LIBASOUND_THREAD_SAFE environment variable. When this variable is set to "0", alsa-lib PCM forcibly disables the whole thread-safe pthread mutex calls. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
