ALSA: fireface: add field for the number of messages copied to user space
Current structure includes no field to express the number of messages copied to user space, thus user space application needs to information out of the structure to parse the content of structure. This commit adds a field to express the number of messages copied to user space since It is more preferable to use self-contained structure. Kees Cook proposed an idea of annotation for bound of flexible arrays in his future improvement for flexible-length array in kernel. The additional field for message count is suitable to the idea as well.
