If I read the code correctly, this can't work irrelevantly from the
sync_stop stuff.  The call of period_elapsed is from
hda_dsp_stream_check() which is performed in bus->reg_lock spinlock in
hda_dsp_stream_threaded_handler().  Meanwhile, the XRUN trigger goes
to hda_dsp_pcm_trigger() that follows hda_dsp_stream_trigger(), and
this function expects the sleepable context due to
snd_sof_dsp_read_poll_timeout() call.

So something like below works?
