The recent uvcvideo regression that broke pulseaudio/KDE (see commit
9c016d61097cc39427a2f5025bdd97ac633d26a6 in the mainline kernel) was
caused by the uvcvideo driver returning a -ENOENT error code to
userspace by mistake.

To make sure such regressions will be caught before reaching users, test
ioctl error codes to make sure they're valid.

A white list of valid error codes might be more appropriate. I can fix the
patch accordingly, but I'd like a general opinion first.
