Check the return value of snd_ctl_rename_id() in
snd_hda_create_dig_out_ctls(). Ensure that failures
are properly handled.

How do you think about to improve also your version management?

The error would never happen because this is a rename, and the only
error condition of snd_ctl_rename_id() is the lack of the control id.
But it's better to have a return check in the caller side, so I took
now.  Thanks.
