ALSA: control: preserve snd_card_file_add() error code in snd_ctl_open() snd_ctl_open() unconditionally overwrites the return value of snd_card_file_add() with -ENODEV on failure, discarding the actual error code. Fix this by directly returning the original error code returned by snd_card_file_add() (e.g. -ENOMEM or -ENODEV). This behavior is consistent with the error handling used in other functions such as snd_mixer_oss_open(), snd_hwdep_open(), snd_pcm_oss_open(), and others. There is no functional change other than the returned error code in this failure path.
