Subject: [PATCH] staging: speakup: fix wraparound in uaccess length check

If softsynthx_read() is called with `count < 3`, `count - 3` wraps, causing
the loop to copy as much data as available to the provided buffer. If
softsynthx_read() is invoked through sys_splice(), this causes an
unbounded kernel write; but even when userspace just reads from it
normally, a small size could cause userspace crashes.

Fixes: 425e586cf95b ("speakup: add unicode variant of /dev/softsynth")

Reproducer (kernel overflows userspace stack, resulting in segfault):

root@...ian:/home/user# cat test.c
#include <unistd.h>
int main(void) {
  char buf[1];
  read(0, buf, 1);
}
root@...ian:/home/user# gcc -o test test.c
root@...ian:/home/user# ./test < /dev/softsynth
[do some stuff on the console so that it prints text]
Segmentation fault
root@...ian:/home/user# strace ./test < /dev/softsynth
