[PATCH 1/3] pcm: dmix: fix incorrect boundary handling in snd_pcm_dmix_sync_area

The available size calculation did not handle wraparound correctly. Also, the
underrun handling code confused slave_buffer_size with slave_boundary, causing
another integer overflow that results in too many samples being skipped.
