fix undefined pointer comparison in stdio-internal __toread
the comparison f->wpos > f->buf has undefined behavior when f->wpos is a null pointer, despite the intuition (and actual compiler behavior, for all known compilers) being that NULL > ptr is false for all valid pointers ptr. the purpose of the comparison is to determine if the write buffer is non-empty, and the idiom used elsewhere for that is comparison against f->wbase, which is either a null pointer when not writing, or equal to f->buf when writing. in the former case, both f->wpos and f->wbase are null; in the latter they are both non-null and point into the same array.
