Clemens Ladisch b406e6103b ALSA: pcm: fix delta calculation at boundary wraparound
In the cleanup of the hw_ptr update functions in 2.6.33, the calculation
of the delta value was changed to use the modulo operator to protect
against a negative difference due to the pointer wrapping around at the
boundary.

However, the ptr variables are unsigned, so a negative difference would
result in the two complement's value which has no relation to the actual
difference relative to the boundary; the result is typically some value
near LONG_MAX-boundary.  Furthermore, even if the modulo operation would
be done with signed types, the result of a negative dividend could be
negative.

The invalid delta value is then caught by the following checks, but this
means that the pointer update is ignored.

To fix this, use a range check as in the other pointer calculations.
