ALSA: add/change some comments describing function return values

script/kernel-doc reports the following type of warnings (when run in verbose
mode):

Warning(sound/core/init.c:152): No description found for return value of
'snd_card_create'

To fix that:
- add missing descriptions of function return values
- use "Return:" sections to describe those return values

Along the way:
- complete some descriptions
- fix some typos
