[Impact]
SOF driver in oem-5.6 kernel tries to access HDA codec register when the
codec is already suspended. This may freeze suspend.

[Fix]
Revert HDA codec PM direct-complete optimization.
The same suspend optimization works perfectly on 5.8 and 5.10 kernel, so
something's wrong in the SOF driver in oem-5.6. However, SOF in oem-5.6
is in Frankenstein state so we better not touch it.

[Test]
Suspend a laptop with SOF driver, it can take 30 seconds to suspend, or
worse, it freezes.

With the patch applied, it can suspend in 1 second.

[Regression Risk]
For HDA codecs that benefit from this PM optimization, it'll take longer
to suspend and resume. Nothing else changes other than that.
