ASoC: intel: Replace kthread with work

The usage pattern of kthread worker in Intel SST drivers can be
replaced gracefully with the normal workqueue, which is more light-
weight and easier to manage in general.  Let's do it.

While in the replacement, move the schedule_work() call inside the
spinlock for excluding the race, too.
