4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Zhouyang Jia <jiazhouyang09@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6d531e7b972cb62ded011c2dfcc2d9f72ea6c421 ] When snd_ctl_add fails, the lack of error-handling code may cause unexpected results. This patch adds error-handling code after calling snd_ctl_add.
