Bug 1971387

Description of problem:
After I upgraded to alsa-utils-1.2.5-2.fc34.x86_64 the machine hangs at bootup for 2-3 minutes

Downgrading to alsa-utils-1.2.4-2.fc34.x86_64 restores the old (fast) behavior.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
alsa-utils-1.2.5-2.fc34.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time.
Verified on two different Thinkpads: X1 extreme gen2, and an old T440P.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to alsa-utils-1.2.5-2.fc34.x86_64
2. Reboot. Observe long waittime at reboot.

Actual results:
Long delay at bootup.

Expected results:
Normal bootup time without delay.
