Subject: [PATCH 3.16 403/410] ALSA: pcm: potential uninitialized return values

3.16.57-rc1 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")
