Commit efbceecd4522a41b8442c6b4f68b4508d57d1ccf, adds a number of helper
functions for ctrl related ioctls to v4l2-ioctl.c, these helpers assume that
if file->private_data != NULL, it points to a v4l2_fh, which is only the case
for drivers which actually use v4l2_fh.
This breaks for example bttv which use the "filedata" pointer for its own uses,
and now all the ctrl ioctls try to use whatever its filedata points to as
v4l2_fh and think it has a ctrl_handler, leading to:

This patch adds the missing test_bit(V4L2_FL_USES_V4L2_FH, &vfd->flags) tests
to the ctrl ioctl helpers v4l2_fh paths, fixing the issues with for example
the bttv driver.
Urgh, I didn't test with a 'old' driver. Thanks for catching this. But I would
prefer a simpler patch (although effectively the same) like this:

I agree that that is better, so I've added that version to my tree now, for
which I
expect / hope to send a pullreq later tonight.
