PCM devices are created for FE dai links with 'no-pcm' flag as '0'.
Such DAI links have CPU component which implement either pcm_construct()
or pcm_new() at component or dai level respectively. Based on this,
current patch exposes a helper function to identify such components
and populate 'no_pcm' flag for DPCM DAI link.

This helps to have BE<->BE component links where PCM devices need
not be created for CPU component involved in such links.
