ALSA: hda: Allow setting preallocation again for x86
The commit c31427d0 ("ALSA: hda: No preallocation on x86 platforms") changed CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE setup and its default to zero for x86, as the preallocation should work almost all cases. However, this expectation was too naive; some applications try to allocate as the max buffer size as possible, and it leads to the memory exhaustion. More badly, the commit changed the kconfig no longer adjustable for x86, so you can't fix it statically (although it can be still adjusted via procfs). So, practically seen, it's more recommended to set a reasonable limit for x86, too. This patch follows to that experience, and changes the default to 2048 and allow the kconfig adjustable again.
