[media] videobuf-dvb: avoid spurious ENOMEM when CONFIG_DVB_NET=n
videobuf_dvb_register_bus relies on dvb_net_init to set dvbnet->dvbdev
on success, but ever since commit fcc8e7d8c0e2 ("dvb_net: Simplify the
code if DVB NET is not defined"), ->dvbdev is left unset when
networking support is disabled. Therefore in such configurations
videobuf_dvb_register_bus always returns failure, tripping
little-tested error handling paths and preventing the device from
being initialized and used.
Now that dvb_net_init returns a nonzero value on error, we can use
that as a more reliable error indication. Do so.
Now your card be used with CONFIG_DVB_NET=n, and the kernel will pass
on a more useful error code describing what happened when
CONFIG_DVB_NET=y but dvb_net_init fails due to resource exhaustion.
