Here is my suggested fix.

It is important to only provide the compat_ioctl method
if the downstream de->proc_fops does too, otherwise this
utterly confuses the logic in fs/compat_ioctl.c and we
end up doing the right thing.

To be honest, the other unlocked_ioctl fallback scheme in
this file should be scrutinized for similar problems.
