[PATCH 4.4 083/108] media: v4l2-compat-ioctl32.c: dont copy back the result for certain errors

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@xxxxxxxxx>

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.
