When period interrupts are disabled, while loop in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr0()
results in the machine locking up if runtime->hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies is 0.

Validate runtime->hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies value before while loop to avoid
delta check.

This issue was noticed in Android setup from fastcapture path.

Although the fix itself is fine, I still wonder how this is
triggered.  Could you check in what kind of PCM state is it?

Basically snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr*() is called only in the running PCM
state, and for that, we should have set hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies at
snd_pcm_post_start().  It's

	runtime->hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies = (runtime->buffer_size * HZ) / 
							    runtime->rate;

So maybe the given buffer size is so small and hw_ptr_buffer_jiffies
is really 0?


thanks,

Takashi
