Subject: [PATCH v2 5/9] media: uvcvideo: Turn on the camera if
 V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_SEND_INITIAL

If we subscribe to an event with V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_SEND_INITIAL, the
driver needs to report back some values that require the camera to be
powered on. But VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT is not part of the ioctls that
turn on the camera.

We could unconditionally turn on the camera during
VIDIOC_SUBSCRIBE_EVENT, but it is more efficient to turn it on only
during V4L2_EVENT_SUB_FL_SEND_INITIAL, which we believe is not a common
usecase.

To avoid a list_del if uvc_pm_get() fails, we move list_add_tail to the
end of the function.
