ALSA: hda - Retry codec-verbs at errors

The current error-recovery scheme for the codec communication errors
doesn't work always well.  Especially falling back to the
single-command mode causes the fatal problem on many systems.

In this patch, the problematic verb is re-issued again after the error
(even with polling mode) instead of the single-cmd mode.  The
single-cmd mode will be used only when specified via the command
option explicitly, mainly just for testing.
