Otherwise, a device that is disconnected in the standard audio device thread
might keep failing WaitDevice() in a tight loop, each one generating a new
main thread callback. In normal situations, this is wasteful, but if the
app isn't pumping the event loop quickly (or at all!), this will quickly eat
up all the memory in a machine.
Now we note that the device is zombified right away, and device thread
iteration will use this to replace the implementation with the Zombie
equivalents once it owns the device lock.
The main thread callback will progress to device->zombie==2, which it uses to
decide if this is a duplicate disconnect notification. Since it also owns the
lock at this point, it takes the moment to set the Zombie implementation up,
too.
This allows things (like the WASAPI backend) to check for a non-zero zombie
state immediately without having to worry if the main thread callback ran, and
for the standard audio threads to also move to the Zombie implementation
without waiting on that callback.
(The Zombie implementation is used to make a dead device keep processing, so
things that need the audio device to make progress to function will keep
working, and things blindly pushing to an audio stream won't queue up endless
data that isn't being consumed.)
Fixes #15745.
