media: mc: Fix flags handling when creating pad links
[ Upstream commit 422f7af75d03d50895938d38bc9cb8be759c440f ]
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.
