qp -> QP

Why is this applicable to H264/HEVC only? I think it is fine for any codec.

This needs to document that the value applies to the last dequeued buffer
(VIDIOC_DQBUF).

value -> Value

Also move it up two lines so that it follows V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_USE_LTR_FRAMES
rather than FWHT controls.

Drop the volatile flag, this isn't a volatile value.
