Subject: [PATCH 4.9 005/102] ALSA: pcm: potential uninitialized return values

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@...cle.com>

commit 5607dddbfca774fb38bffadcb077fe03aa4ac5c6 upstream.

Smatch complains that "tmp" can be uninitialized if we do a zero size
write.

Fixes: 02a5d6925cd3 ("ALSA: pcm: Avoid potential races between OSS ioctls and read/write")
