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.
