Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 128/165] ALSA: control: Add sanity checks for user ctl id name string

3.16.7-ckt9 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@...e.de>

commit be3bb8236db2d0fcd705062ae2e2a9d75131222f upstream.

There was no check about the id string of user control elements, so we
accepted even a control element with an empty string, which is
obviously bogus.  This patch adds more sanity checks of id strings.
