Commit 90320051ea ("spiceaudio: add a pcm_ops buffer_get_free
function") caused to emit messages saying "Resetting rate control"
frequently when the guest generates no frames.
audio_rate_peek_bytes() resets the rate control when frames < 0 ||
frames > 65536 where frames is the rate-limited number of frames.
Resetting when frames < 0 is sensible as the number simply doesn't make
sense.
There is a problem when frames > 65536. It implies the guest stopped
generating frames for a while so it makes sense to reset the rate
control when the guest resumed generating frames. However, the
commit mentioned earlier broke this assumption by letting spiceaudio
call audio_rate_peek_bytes() whether the guest is generating frames or
not.
Reset the rate control in audio_rate_add_bytes(), which is called only
when actually adding frames, according to the previous call to
audio_rate_peek_bytes() to avoid frequent rate control resets even when
the guest generates no frame.
