Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: line6: Improve poor error handling in
 line6_init_cap_control

line6_init_cap_control doesn't free resources properly when allocations
like kmalloc, usb_alloc_urb fails. It can cause memory leak when some
allocations succeed, and then an error occurs.

This patch makes line6_init_cap_control to properly free the resources,
freeing previously allocated resources when there's an error.
