    media: dvb-frontends: avoid stack overflow warnings with clang
    
    [ Upstream commit 7a4cf27d1f0538f779bf31b8c99eda394e277119 ]
    
    A previous patch worked around a KASAN issue in stv0367, now a similar
    problem showed up with clang:
    
    drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0367.c:1222:12: error: stack frame size (3624) exceeds limit (2048) in 'stv0367ter_set_frontend' [-Werror,-Wframe-larger-than]
     1214 | static int stv0367ter_set_frontend(struct dvb_frontend *fe)
    
    Rework the stv0367_writereg() function to be simpler and mark both
    register access functions as noinline_for_stack so the temporary
    i2c_msg structures do not get duplicated on the stack when KASAN_STACK
    is enabled.
