Subject: [media] media/v4l2-ctrls: fix setting autocluster to manual with VIDIOC_S_CTRL

From: Antonio Ospite <ao2@ao2.it>

commit 759b26a1d916400a1a20948eb964dea6ad0bd9e9 upstream.

Since commit 5d0360a4f027576e5419d4a7c711c9ca0f1be8ca it's not possible
anymore to set auto clusters from auto to manual using VIDIOC_S_CTRL.

For example, setting autogain to manual with gspca/ov534 driver and this
sequence of commands does not work:

  v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=gain_automatic=1
  v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls | grep gain_automatic
  # The following does not work
  v4l2-ctl --set-ctrl=gain_automatic=0
  v4l2-ctl --list-ctrls | grep gain_automatic

Changing the value using VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS (like qv4l2 does) works
fine.

The apparent cause by looking at the changes in 5d0360a and comparing
with the code path for VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS seems to be that the code in
v4l2-ctrls.c::set_ctrl() is not calling user_to_new() anymore after
calling update_from_auto_cluster(master).

However the root cause of the problem is that calling
update_from_auto_cluster(master) overrides also the _master_ control
state calling cur_to_new() while it was supposed to only update the
volatile controls.

Calling user_to_new() after update_from_auto_cluster(master) was just
masking the original bug by restoring the correct new value of the
master control before making the changes permanent.

Fix the original bug by making update_from_auto_cluster() not override
the new master control value.
