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. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

+ :header-rows: 0
+ :stub-columns: 0
+
+
+ - .. row 1

+ - .. row 3
+
+ - uint16_t \*strength
+
+ - The signal strength value is stored into \*strength.
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+This ioctl call returns the signal strength value for the signal
+currently received by the front-end. For this command, read-only access
+to the device is sufficient.

+
+Return Value

+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
