Final power management fixes for v4.14

 - Prevent the schedutil cpufreq governor from using the
   utilization of a wrong CPU in some cases which started to
   happen after one of the recent changes in it (Chris Redpath).

 - Blacklist Dell XPS13 9360 from using the Low Power S0 Idle _DSM
   interface as that causes serious issue (related to NVMe) to
   appear on one of these machines, even though the other Dells
   XPS13 9360 in somewhat different HW configurations behave
   correctly (Rafael Wysocki).

sound fixes for 4.14

The amount of the changes isn't as quite small as wished, nevertheless
they are straight fixes that deserve merging to 4.14 final.

Most of fixes are about ALSA core bugs spotted by fuzzer: a follow-up
fix for the previous nested rwsem patch, a fix to avoid the resource
hogs due to too many concurrent ALSA timer invocations, and a fix for
a crash with SYSEX MIDI transfer over OSS sequencer emulation that is
used by none but fuzzer.

The rest are usual HD-audio and USB-audio device-specific quirks,
which are safe to apply.

- Fix possible NULL dereference (Chris).
- Avoid miss usage of syncobj by rejecting unknown flags (Tvrtko).

randconfig fix from Arnd, plus the vblank WARN_ON fix from Ville.
