Subject: ALSA: pcm: potential uninitialized return values
From: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@xxxxxxxxxx>
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")
