Before this commit, compilation of `pcm_share` causes warnings "ignoring return value" for several `read` and `write` operations:

~~~~ pcm_share.c: In function '_snd_pcm_share_missing': pcm_share.c:293:5: warning: ignoring return value of 'read', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result] read(share->slave_socket, buf, 1); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ <...> ~~~~

However, ignoring return values in these use-cases is safe and optimal, because `read` and `write` operations are executed upon descriptors, created with `socketpair()` and `pipe()`.

This commit fixes the warnings by introducing the return value with the attribute `unused` (for details, see [1]). The macro, used in this commit, is defined at `global.h`:

~~~~ define ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED __attribute__ ((__unused__)) ~~~~

I explicitly checked the objdump: this commit doesn't change the machine code, related to the modified C code lines. The execution performance is not affected.
