I don't know enough about ALSA to say whether the patch is correct. But the commit log needs work: please, do not "fix warnings" - analyse the code and explain whether there is a real issue and if yes what is it and how it can trigger. Is an invalid op_flag ever passed? If it's just a coverity false positive it might be ok to work around that but document this.

There's already virtsnd_ctl_msg_unref call above. Also don't we need virtsnd_ctl_msg_unref on other error paths such as EFAULT? Unify error handling to fix it all then?
