[PATCHv2] v4l2-ctrl.h: fix comments

[Hans Verkuil]

The comments for the unlocked v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl* functions were wrong (copy
and pasted from the locked variants). Fix this, since it is confusing.

Fixed the v4l2_ctrl_s_ctrl_int64() comment, which was inadvertently changed
as well.

Thanks to Ian Arkver for reporting this.
