This is in the DAI link `.trigger` callback, but I don't see the
macaudio links being marked `.nonatomic = 1`.

The default PCM trigger path can run with the stream lock held and IRQs
disabled, so taking a normal mutex here can sleep in atomic context. If
this state really needs a sleeping lock, should the affected links be
marked nonatomic, or should the trigger path avoid the mutex?
