doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/media
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also,
as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's
rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it
clearer.
No functional changes.

To get events from a V4L2 decoder +use the V4L2 :ref:`VIDIOC_DQEVENT` ioctl instead. + +This ioctl call returns an event of type video_event if available. If +an event is not available, the behavior depends on whether the device is +in blocking or non-blocking mode. In the latter case, the call fails +immediately with errno set to ``EWOULDBLOCK``. In the former case, the call +blocks until an event becomes available. The standard Linux poll() +and/or select() system calls can be used with the device file descriptor +to watch for new events. For select(), the file descriptor should be +included in the exceptfds argument, and for poll(), POLLPRI should be +specified as the wake-up condition. Read-only permissions are sufficient +for this ioctl call. + + +Return Value +------------ + +On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set +appropriately.
