This commit replaces the wording 'buffer' with 'data buffer' when
referring to the payload of PCM messages. The virtio specification
defines the word buffer as a set of zero or more device-readable
physically-contiguous elements followed by zero or more
physically-contiguous device-writable elements. In the virtio-sound
section, the word is used only for the data or payload in a request. In
this case, the data buffer is sent together with a header, i.e.,
device-readable, and the status, i.e., device-writable. To not get
confused with the main definition, this commit replaces those usages
with the wording 'data buffer'.
