Let's make this 0444, just like most other media drivers with a radio_nr param.

In fact, I propose that you make this patch more useful by looking at the output of:

git grep module_param drivers/media/|grep '\(video_nr\)\|\(radio_nr\)\|\(vbi_nr\)'

and change all to 0444. I see a mix of 0000, 0444 and 0644 being used, but 0444
is really the only sensible one.
