[PATCH 2/2] pcm:plugin: Fix sound capture via MMAP access

[sutar.mounesh@gmail.com]

From: Timo Wischer <twischer@de.adit-jv.com>

Distorted sound is heard if the capture device of an ioplug plugin is used,
which is accessed through any ALSA plugin (like copy, linear, ...) via MMAP access.
E.g. aplay -> loop -> copy -> arecord -M -> aplay -> hw:0
As mentioned in the ALSA API (see pcm/pcm.c:942):
The function #snd_pcm_avail_update() have to be called
before any mmap begin+commit operation.
