Address sanitizer complains with a buffer overflow to the end of
gsm_fr_map:

SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: global-buffer-overflow /home/alphaone/scm/osmo/openbsc/openbsc/src/libtrau/trau_mux.c:441 trau_encode_fr

In the last iteration of the loop k is already set to the next element
in gsm_fr_map which leads to an out-of-bounds read. Instead decrement k
at the end of the loop and put the check before the data assignment.
This is functionally equivalent as k is never < 0 initially.

This happens in trau_decode_fr as well.
