Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: usb-audio: Fix memleak in scarlett2_add_new_ctl

When snd_usb_mixer_add_control() fails, elem needs to be
freed just like when snd_ctl_new1() fails. However, current
code is returning directly and ends up leaking memory.

Fixes: 9e4d5c1be21f0 ("ALSA: usb-audio: Scarlett Gen 2 mixer interface")
