[PATCH v2 2/2] media: rc: improve lirc module detection

[Heiner Kallweit]

Improve detection whether lirc codec is loaded and avoid dependency
on config symbols and having to check for a specific module.

This also fixes the bug that the current check checks for module
lirc_dev instead of ir_lirc_codec (which depends on lirc_dev).
If the ir_lirc_codec module is unloaded the check would still
return OK.
