Both dib9000_read16_attr and dib9000_write16_attr can return an
error code. However, they currently return an u16. This produces the
following warnings on smatch:

	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dib9000.c:262 dib9000_read16_attr() warn: signedness bug returning '(-121)'
	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dib9000.c:321 dib9000_write16_attr() warn: signedness bug returning '(-22)'
	drivers/media/dvb-frontends/dib9000.c:353 dib9000_write16_attr() warn: signedness bug returning '(-121)'

While reviewing this, I was originally concerned with
"dib9000_read16_attr" but after tracing through the functions, I see
that the change looks OK.

For the function, "dib9000_write16_attr",  we will only ever return
-EINVAL, 0, or possibly the return value of i2c_transfer.  It is OK to
convert the function to return 'int' here instead of 'u16'.

This change looks reasonable as well.
