The current implementation of alvium_ctrl_init creates several controls in
function alvium_ctrl_init and uses the returned pointer without check. That
can cause write access over NULL-pointer for several controls. The reworked
code checks the pointers before adding flags.

Changes in v3 (since v1):
- Split conditional creation of manual WB controls into another patch.
- Limit changes only on checking returned pointer values.
- ctrls->pixel_rate->flags is readonly by default, no need to replicate that.

Changes in v2:
- Has been rewoked completely because file was brocken.
