printk: ringbuffer: Fix truncating buffer size min_t cast

If an output buffer size exceeded U16_MAX, the min_t(u16, ...) cast in
copy_data() was causing writes to truncate. This manifested as output
bytes being skipped, seen as %NUL bytes in pstore dumps when the available
record size was larger than 65536. Fix the cast to no longer truncate
the calculation.
