Thanks for the patch.

I'd like to prevent excessive memory consumption by limiting the number of
menu entries, similarly to how the driver limits the number of mappings.
Defining UVC_MAX_CONTROL_MENU_ENTRIES to 32 in uvcvideo.h should be a
reasonable value.

I'd rather do
ret = -EINVAL;
goto done;
to centralize error handling.
If you're fine with both changes I can modify the patch, there's no need to
resubmit.
