Subject: [PATCH] media: dvb_frontend: Fix uninitialized error in dvb_frontend_handle_ioctl()

With gcc-4.1.2:

    drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c: In function ‘dvb_frontend_handle_ioctl’:
    drivers/media/dvb-core/dvb_frontend.c:2110: warning: ‘err’ may be used uninitialized in this function

Indeed, there are 13 cases where err is used initialized if one of the
dvb_frontend_ops is not implemented.

Preinitialize err to -EOPNOTSUPP like before to fix this.

Fixes: d73dcf0cdb95a47f ("media: dvb_frontend: cleanup ioctl handling logic")
