sound: Move sysctl and /dev/dspX creation to pcm_setstatus()

Summary

Create the sysctl and /dev/dsp* nodes in pcm_setstatus(), which is
responsible for finalizing the device initialization, instead of doing
this in the middle of the initialization.

For the sysctl creation specifically, move them into pcm_sysinit(),
since this is where we create the rest of the sysctl nodes anyway.

A side effect of this change is, that we avoid the possibility of racing
in between pcm_register() and pcm_setstatus() by accessing /dev/dspX or
the sysctls within that window.
