Subject: [PATCH 3.2 137/140] media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: don't copy 
 back the result for certain errors

3.2.100-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@...co.com>

commit d83a8243aaefe62ace433e4384a4f077bed86acb upstream.

Some ioctls need to copy back the result even if the ioctl returned
an error. However, don't do this for the error code -ENOTTY.
It makes no sense in that cases.
