V4L/DVB (8988): S2API: Allow the properties to call legacy ioctls
SET_TONE and SET_VOLTAGE were not previously implemented. Two options existed. Either cut/paste from the previous ioctl handler into the process_properties function, which is code duplication. Or, split the current ioctl handler into it's two major pieces. Piece 1, responsible for input validation and semaphore acquiring Piece 2 the processing of the previous ioctls and finally, a new third pieces where the array of properties is processed, and can freely call the legacy ioctl handler without having to re-acquire the fepriv->sem semaphore. This is a clean approach and ensures the existing legacy ioctls are processed as they were previously (but with an extra function call) and allows the new API to share code without duplication.
