Keep in mind that rkvdec_try_ctrl and rkvdec_s_ctrl are only used for
CID_STATELESS_H264_SPS (and in future also CID_STATELESS_HEVC_SPS) not
any other control, so this is already in the correct place?

Maybe the naming of the functions are too generic, they could be named
rkvdec_sps_try_ctrl and rkvdec_sps_s_ctrl or similar if that makes more
sense?
