ALSA: control: cage TLV_DB_RANGE_HEAD in kernel land because it was obsoleted
In commit bf1d1c9b6179 ("ALSA: tlv: add DECLARE_TLV_DB_RANGE()"), the new macro was added so that "dB range information can be specified without having to count the items manually for TLV_DB_RANGE_HEAD()". In short, TLV_DB_RANGE_HEAD macro was obsoleted. In commit 46e860f76804 ("ALSA: rename TLV-related macros so that they're friendly to user applications"), TLV-related macros are exposed for applications in user land to get content of data structured by Type/Length/Value shape. The commit managed to expose TLV-related macros as many as possible, while obsoleted TLV_DB_RANGE_HEAD() was included to the list of exposed macros. This situation brings some confusions to application developers because they might think all exposed macros have their own purpose and useful for applications. For the reason, this commit moves TLV_DB_RANGE_HEAD macro from UAPI header to a header for kernel land, again. The above commit is done within the same development period for kernel 4.9, thus not published yet. This commit might certainly brings no confusions to user land.
