The hw_base will be increased by runtime->buffer_size frames
unconditionally if the runtime->status->hw_ptr is not updated for over
half of buffer time. As the hw_base increases, so does the
runtime->status->hw_ptr which could lead to invalid return value when
user space program calls snd_pcm_avail() function.
By updating runtime->hw_ptr_jiffies each time the HWSYNC is called,
the hw_base will keep the same when buffer stall happens, so does the
hw_ptr.
