Revert "[media] dvb_frontend: return -ENOTTY for unimplement IOCTL"

As reported by Klaus Schmidinger:
 "In VDR I use an ioctl() call with FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS on a
  device (using stb0899).  After this call I check 'errno' for
  EOPNOTSUPP to determine whether this device supports this call.  This
  used to work just fine, until a few months ago I noticed that my
  devices using stb0899 didn't display their signal quality in VDR's OSD
  any more.  After further investigation I found that
  ioctl(FE_READ_UNCORRECTED_BLOCKS) no longer returns EOPNOTSUPP, but
  rather ENOTTY.  And since I stop getting the signal quality in case
  any unknown errno value appears, this broke my signal quality query
  function."

While the changes reflect what is there at:

  http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1235728



it does cause regression on userspace.  So, revert it to stop the
damage.

This reverts commit 177ffe50 ("[media] dvb_frontend: return -ENOTTY
for unimplement IOCTL").
