opti9xx: adjust OPL3 FM resource value

The OPTi ISA-PnP chips advertise their OPL4Base resource value at 0x380
(to 0x3f0) through PnP and put their on-chip OPL3 at ALBase = OPL4Base + 8.
The driver assumes the PnP advertised value is the ALBase though and checks
for an OPL4 at -8, which means that simply adding 8 to the PnP advertised
value works to fix both OPL3 and OPL4 support.

Problem spotted on 931 and 933 by Krzysztof Helt and confirmed on 924 and
925 (together all OPTi ISA-PnP chips) by me. Has been tested.
