Subject: [PATCH for v3.18 13/18] media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: don't copy back the result for certain errors

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.
