[PATCH] staging: speakup: fix wraparound in uaccess length check

[Jann Horn <jannh@google.com>]

If softsynthx_read() is called with `count < 3`, `count - 3` wraps, causing
the loop to copy as much data as available to the provided buffer. If
softsynthx_read() is invoked through sys_splice(), this causes an
unbounded kernel write; but even when userspace just reads from it
normally, a small size could cause userspace crashes.
