[PATCH] pcm: rate: fix drain of partial period at end of buffer

In the case that:
* the buffer size is not an integer multiple of the period size, and
* drain must flush a partial period located before the end of the buffer
  but without a full period available, where
* these conditions may pertain to the source or slave pcm buffer, and
* because rate conversion is always done on a full period,
it is necessary to check that both a full source period is available
before source pcm buffer wrap and a full slave period is available
before slave pcm buffer wrap in order to use the simple, single-commit
implementation in snd_pcm_rate_commit_area().

The alternative fix would be to change snd_pcm_rate_write_areas1() to
take size and slave_size parameters. This would be more disruptive to
the code base, tricky to get right, and is unnecessary given that
snd_pcm_mmap_commit() only commits the partial period of actually valid
converted samples.
