Hmm.  Change looks unrelated.

On a closer look it seems this is basically dead code.
virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_buffer_locked is called by
virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_buffer and virtio_gpu_queue_fenced_ctrl_buffer.
The call sites for these two functions all ignore the return value.

So it is a valid change, but it should go to a separate patch.  And
while being at it virtio_gpu_queue_ctrl_buffer and
virtio_gpu_queue_fenced_ctrl_buffer can be changed to return void.

Otherwise the patch looks fine.  Nice analysis btw.

cheers,
  Gerd
