syzkaller reported an invalid access in PCM OSS read, and this seems to be an overflow of the internal buffer allocated for a plugin. Since the rate plugin adjusts its transfer size dynamically, the calculation for the chained plugin might be bigger than the given buffer size in some extreme cases, which lead to such an buffer overflow as caught by KASAN. Fix it by limiting the max transfer size properly by checking against the destination size in each plugin transfer callback.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
