[PATCH] ALSA: core: Validate compress device numbers without dynamic minors

[Cássio Gabriel]

Without CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS, ALSA reserves only two fixed minors
for compress devices on each card: comprD0 and comprD1.

snd_find_free_minor() currently computes the compress minor as
type + dev without validating dev first, so device numbers greater than
1 spill into the HWDEP minor range instead of failing registration.

ASoC passes rtd->id to snd_compress_new(), so this can happen on real
non-dynamic-minor builds.

Add a dedicated fixed-minor check for SNDRV_DEVICE_TYPE_COMPRESS in
snd_find_free_minor() and reject out-of-range device numbers with
-EINVAL before constructing the minor.

Also remove the stale TODO in compress_offload.c that still claims
multiple compress nodes are missing.
