ALSA: usb-audio: Workaround for XRUN at prepare

Under certain situations (typically in the implicit feedback mode),
USB-audio driver starts a playback stream already at PCM prepare call
even before the actual PCM trigger-START call.  For implicit feedback
mode, this effectively starts two streams for data and sync
endpoints, and if a coupled sync stream gets XRUN at this point, it
results in an error -EPIPE.

The problem is that currently we return -EPIPE error as is from the
prepare.  Then application tries to recover again via the prepare
call, but it'll fail again because the sync-stop is missing.  The
sync-stop is missing because it's an internal trigger call (hence the
PCM core isn't involved).

Since we'll need to re-issue the prepare in anyway when trapped into
this pitfall, this patch attempts to address it in a bit different
way; namely, the driver tries to prepare once again after syncing the
stop manually by itself -- so applications don't see the internal
error.  At the second failure, we report the error as is, but this
shouldn't happen in normal situations.
