Current code is a mess when it comes to handling error related to
uvd/vce. This patch consolidate control flow in something easy to
follow. You can check that there is absolulety no control flow change
for the case where uvd/vce works and thus it does not break anything
that works. It will only gracefully fails and cleanup if things go
wrong. So while i have not tested on other hw i am confident that this
does not introduce regression.

I tried to do it without consolidation but it ended up in adding even
more if() levels that line did begins after 80colums. So please
reconsider because this is an improvement over existing code.
