    ALSA: pcm: rewrite snd_pcm_playback_silence()

    The auto-silencer supports two modes: "thresholded" to fill up "just
    enough", and "top-up" to fill up "as much as possible". The two modes
    used rather distinct code paths, which this patch unifies. The only
    remaining distinction is how much we actually want to fill.

    This fixes a bug in thresholded mode, where we failed to use new_hw_ptr,
    resulting in under-fill.

    Top-up mode is now more well-behaved and much easier to understand in
    corner cases.

    This also updates comments in the proximity of silencing-related data
    structures.
