relay: fix for possible loss/corruption of produced subbufs
Fix possible loss/corruption of produced subbufs in
relay_subbufs_consumed().
When buf->subbufs_produced wraps around after UINT_MAX and
buf->subbufs_consumed is still < UINT_MAX, the condition
if (buf->subbufs_consumed > buf->subbufs_produced)
will be true even for certain valid values of subbufs_consumed. This may
lead to loss or corruption of produced subbufs.
