ALSA: firewire-lib: handle IT/IR contexts in each software interrupt context

In clause 6.3 of IEC 61883-6:2000, there's an explanation about processing
of presentation timestamp. In the clause, we can see "If a function block
receives a CIP, processes it and subsequently re-transmits it, then the
SYT of the outgoing CIP shall be the sum of the incoming SYT and the
processing delay." ALSA firewire stack has an implementation to partly
satisfy this specification. Developers assumed the stack to perform as an
Audio function block[1].

Following to the assumption, current implementation of ALSA firewire stack
use one software interrupt context to handle both of in/out packets. In
most case, this is processed in 1394 OHCI IR context independently of the
opposite context. Thus, this implementation uses longer CPU time in the
software interrupt context. This is not better for whole system.

Against the assumption, I confirmed that each ASIC for IEC 61883-1/6
doesn't necessarily expect it to the stack. Thus, current implementation
of ALSA firewire stack includes over-engineering.

This commit purges the implementation. As a result, packets of one
direction are handled in one software interrupt context and spends
minimum CPU time.
