ALSA: doc: Update the description about PCM suspend procedure

The PCM suspend procedure was changed for drivers, so that they don't
have to call snd_pcm_suspend*() in each callback any longer.  Update
the documentation to adapt the changes.

-As shown in the above, it's better to save registers after suspending
-the PCM operations via :c:func:`snd_pcm_suspend_all()` or
-:c:func:`snd_pcm_suspend()`. It means that the PCM streams are
-already stopped when the register snapshot is taken. But, remember that
-you don't have to restart the PCM stream in the resume callback. It'll
-be restarted via trigger call with ``SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_RESUME`` when
-necessary.
+Note that, at the time this callback gets called, the PCM stream has
+been already suspended via its own PM ops calling
+:c:func:`snd_pcm_suspend_all()` internally.
 
 OK, we have all callbacks now. Let's set them up. In the initialization
 of the card, make sure that you can get the chip data from the card
