Subject: [PATCH] fs: add missing compat_ptr handling for FS_IOC_RESVSP ioctl

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>

For FS_IOC_RESVSP and FS_IOC_RESVSP64 compat_sys_ioctl() uses its
arg argument as a pointer to userspace. However it is missing a
a call to compat_ptr() which will do a proper pointer conversion.

This was introduced with 3e63cbb1 "fs: Add new pre-allocation ioctls
to vfs for compatibility with legacy xfs ioctls".
