media: uvcvideo: Handle errors from calls to usb_string

[ Upstream commit 4867bb590ae445bcfaa711a86b603c97e94574b3 ]

On a Webcam from Quanta, we see the following error.

usb 3-5: New USB device found, idVendor=0408, idProduct=30d2, bcdDevice= 0.03
usb 3-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=3, Product=1, SerialNumber=2
usb 3-5: Product: USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam
usb 3-5: Manufacturer: Quanta
usb 3-5: SerialNumber: 0x0001
...
uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.10 device USB2.0 HD UVC WebCam (0408:30d2)
uvcvideo: Failed to initialize entity for entity 5
uvcvideo: Failed to register entities (-22).

The Webcam reports an entity of type UVC_VC_EXTENSION_UNIT. It reports a
string index of '7' associated with that entity. The attempt to read that
string from the camera fails with error -32 (-EPIPE). usb_string() returns
that error, but it is ignored. As result, the entity name is empty. This
later causes v4l2_device_register_subdev() to return -EINVAL, and no
entities are registered as result.

While this appears to be a firmware problem with the camera, the kernel
should still handle the situation gracefully. To do that, check the return
value from usb_string(). If it reports an error, assign the entity's
default name.
