Adjust the size of the sample buffer before we change the "area"
pointer. The change in size is calculated as the difference between the
original pointer and the new start pointer. But since the
`smp->data.u.str.area` assignment results in `smp->data.u.str.area` and
`start` being the same pointer, we always ended up substracting zero.
This changes it to change the size by the actual amount it changed.

I'm not entirely sure what the impact of this is, but the previous code
seemed wrong.
