Subject: [PATCH 3.18 05/85] ALSA: emu10k1: add error handling for snd_ctl_add

3.18-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhouyang Jia <jiazhouyang09@...il.com>

[ 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.
