V4L/DVB (8955): bttv: Prevent NULL pointer dereference in radio_open

Fix the following crash in the bttv driver:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000000036c
IP: [<ffffffffa037860a>] radio_open+0x3a/0x170 [bttv]

This happens because radio_open assumes that all present bttv devices
have a radio function. If a bttv device without radio and one with
radio are installed on the same system, and the one without radio is
registered first, then radio_open checks for the radio device number
of a bttv device that has no radio function, and this breaks. All we
have to do to fix it is to skip bttv devices without a radio function.
