The media_create_pad_link() function doesn't correctly clear reject link type flags, nor does it set the DATA_LINK flag. It only works because the MEDIA_LNK_FL_DATA_LINK flag's value is 0. Fix it by returning an error if any link type flag is set. This doesn't introduce any regression, as nobody calls the media_create_pad_link() function with link type flags (easily checked by grepping for the flag in the source code, there are very few hits). Set the MEDIA_LNK_FL_DATA_LINK explicitly, which is a no-op that the compiler will optimize out, but is still useful to make the code more explicit and easier to understand.
