pipeline: raspberrypi: Fix under-allocation of embedded data buffers
The code was reducing the number of raw stream buffers allocated when
the application is providing some of its own. However, it was not
taking account of the fact that the application cannot supply embedded
data buffers, so it must always allocate a reasonable minimum number
of these buffers (possibly more than the number of raw stream buffers)
to prevent frame drops.
