[media] v4l2-ioctl: make tuner 'type' check more strict for S_FREQUENCY
As per the feature removal document, make the tuner type check more strict so that it is no longer possible to set the radio frequency through a video node or the TV frequency through a radio node.

-What: For VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY the type field must match the device node's type.
- If not, return -EINVAL.
-When: 3.2
-Why: It makes no sense to switch the tuner to radio mode by calling
- VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a video node, or to switch the tuner to tv mode by
- calling VIDIOC_S_FREQUENCY on a radio node. This is the first step of a
- move to more consistent handling of tv and radio tuners.
-Who: Hans Verkuil <hans.verkuil@cisco.com>

What: Opening a radio device node will no longer automatically switch the
tuner mode from tv to radio.
When: 3.3
