doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/media
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also, as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it clearer. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

+ioctl MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY
+**************************
+
+Name
+====
+
+MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY - Enumerate the graph topology and graph element properties
+
+
+Synopsis
+========
+
+.. cpp:function:: int ioctl( int fd, int request, struct media_v2_topology *argp )
+
+
+Arguments
+=========
+
+``fd``
+ File descriptor returned by :ref:`open() <media-func-open>`.
+
+``request``
+ MEDIA_IOC_G_TOPOLOGY
+
+``argp``
+
+
+Description
+===========
+
+The typical usage of this ioctl is to call it twice. On the first call,
+the structure defined at struct
+:ref:`media_v2_topology <media-v2-topology>` should be zeroed. At
+return, if no errors happen, this ioctl will return the
+``topology_version`` and the total number of entities, interfaces, pads
+and links.
+
+Before the second call, the userspace should allocate arrays to store
+the graph elements that are desired, putting the pointers to them at the
+ptr_entities, ptr_interfaces, ptr_links and/or ptr_pads, keeping the
+other values untouched.
+
+If the ``topology_version`` remains the same, the ioctl should fill the
+desired arrays with the media graph elements.

+
+Return Value
+============
+
+On success 0 is returned, on error -1 and the ``errno`` variable is set
+appropriately. The generic error codes are described at the
+:ref:`Generic Error Codes <gen-errors>` chapter.
+
+ENOSPC
+ This is returned when either one or more of the num_entities,
+ num_interfaces, num_links or num_pads are non-zero and are
+ smaller than the actual number of elements inside the graph. This
+ may happen if the ``topology_version`` changed when compared to the
+ last time this ioctl was called. Userspace should usually free the
+ area for the pointers, zero the struct elements and call this ioctl
+ again.
