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.
