ALSA: dummy - Fake buffer allocations

Instead of allocating the real buffers, use a fake buffer and ignore
read/write in the dummy driver so that we can save the resources.
For mmap, a single page (unique to the direction, though) is reused
to all buffers.

When the app requires to read/write the real buffers, pass fake_buffer=0
module option at loading time.  This will get back to the old behavior.
