Subject: ALSA: usb-audio: extend KEF X300A FU 10 tweak to Arcam rPAC

commit d70a1b9893f820fdbcdffac408c909c50f2e6b43 upstream.

The Arcam rPAC seems to have the same problem - whenever anything
(alsamixer, udevd, 3.9+ kernel from 60af3d037eb8c, ..) attempts to
access mixer / control interface of the card, the firmware "locks up"
the entire device, resulting in
  SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS failed (-5): Input/output error
from alsa-lib.

Other operating systems can somehow read the mixer (there seems to be
playback volume/mute), but any manipulation is ignored by the device
(which has hardware volume controls).
