doc-rst: linux_tv: don't simplify VIDIOC_G_foo references

Browse source 
As VIDIOC_G_foo is the reference used for VIDIOC_S_foo and
VIDIOC_TRY_foo, we need to explicitly name the reference, as
otherwise, it will mention the three ioctls altogether, with
is not what we want.

:ref:`VIDIOC_S_EXT_CTRLS <VIDIOC_G_EXT_CTRLS>` and

on arrays of controls (as opposed to the

:ref:`VIDIOC_S_CTRL <VIDIOC_G_CTRL>` ioctls that act on a single
control). This is needed since it is often required to atomically change
several controls at once.
