ALSA: pcm: Revert "ALSA: pcm: rewrite snd_pcm_playback_silence()"

This reverts commit 9f656705.

There was a regression (in the top-up mode). Unfortunately, the patch
provided from the author of this commit is not easy to review.

Keep the updated and new comments in headers.
Also add a new comment that documents the missed API constraint which
led to the regression.
