[PATCH v2] ALSA: firewire-tascam: Do not drop unread control events

["Cássio Gabriel" <cassiogabrielcontato@gmail.com>]

tscm_hwdep_read_queue() copies as many queued control events as fit in
the userspace buffer. When the buffer is smaller than the current
contiguous queue segment, length is rounded down to the number of bytes
that can be copied.

However, after copying that shortened length, the code advances pull_pos
to the original tail_pos, marking the whole contiguous segment as
consumed. Any events between the copied portion and tail_pos are lost.

Limit tail_pos to the position after the entries actually copied before
updating pull_pos. When the whole segment fits, this is equivalent to the
old tail_pos update; when the buffer is smaller, the remaining events
stay queued for the next read.
