enumeration: move ALSA control devices to the end of the enumerated devices of each card

Generally ALSA control devices should be the last ones to be processed
for ACL changes and similar operations because they can then be used as
indicators that ACL management finished for all device nodes of a
specific card.

This patch simple moves each controlC device behind all the pcmC devices
(and similar).
