Partly revert "[media] uvcvideo: Set error_idx properly for extended controls API failures"

Commit f0ed2ce840b3 ("[media] uvcvideo: Set error_idx properly for
extended controls API failures") causes user space to behave incorrectly
on one of my test machines (there is no sound under KDE 4.9.4 using
pulseaudio and there is a knotify4 process occupying one of the CPU
cores 100% of the time).  Reverting that commit entirely fixes the
problem for me.

However, commit f0ed2ce840b3 appears to do more than it follows from its
changelog, because the changelog only says about the changes related to
ctrls->error_idx, while the commit additionally changes error codes
returned by various functions in uvc_ctrl.c and uvc_v4l2.c.  It turns
out that the changes of the returned error codes confuse the user spce,
so it is sufficient to revert the part of commit f0ed2ce840b3 not
mentioned in its changelog to fix the problem.

[ 'ENOENT' is not a valid error return from an ioctl to begin with, and
  I don't understand how anybody ever even thought it would be.  - Linus ]
