  dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wext (2017-06-14 13:52:44 +0200)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Here's just the fix for that ancient bug:
 * remove wext calling ndo_do_ioctl, since nobody needs
   that now and it makes the type change easier
 * use struct iwreq instead of struct ifreq almost everywhere
   in wireless extensions code
 * copy only struct iwreq from userspace in dev_ioctl for the
   wireless extensions, since it's smaller than struct ifreq

----------------------------------------------------------------
Johannes Berg (3):
      wireless: wext: remove ndo_do_ioctl fallback
      wireless: wext: use struct iwreq earlier in the call chain
      dev_ioctl: copy only the smaller struct iwreq for wext
