[media] Avoid sysfs oops when an rc_dev's raw device is absent
The fix was made for this reported bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1015836
It addresses an oops, that for example can happen on USB DVB tuner
removal (according to the report, which also contains the oops that
happen. Quick checking debugging symbols here against one of the
oops, the patch should fix the issue). The bug reports the problem
happening on 3.2 at least, but the same code is present on 3.0, and I
expect it possible happen with it as well, and no Cc to stable was
placed. Earlier stable releases still supported don't look to be
affected (not same rc code, show_protocols not present).
