[media] v4l2-ctrls: remove unclaimed v4l2_ctrl_add_ctrl() interface
v4l2_ctrl_add_ctrl() interface has no users since its introduction in
commit 0996517cf8ea ("V4L/DVB: v4l2: Add new control handling framework")
and its functionality is covered by v4l2_ctrl_new() and derivative
interfaces, so it is safe to remove the interface from the kernel.

What you should not do is make two identical controls for two handlers.
