ALSA: pcm: oss: Compare max buffer size in bytes

This commit moves the 1MB upper-limit check in snd_pcm_plugin_alloc()
to after the bit-to-byte division so the limit is enforced in bytes
rather than bits.

[Severity: Medium]
Can a multiplication overflow in array3_size() now trigger snd_BUG_ON()?
When array3_size() overflows, it saturates to SIZE_MAX, where SIZE_MAX % 8
is 7.  With the size > 1024 * 1024 check moved past snd_BUG_ON(size % 8),
a saturated size hits the WARN_ON() in snd_BUG_ON() when CONFIG_SND_DEBUG
is enabled and returns -ENXIO instead of -ENOMEM.
