Subject: [ 37/83] Revert "Staging: Android alarm: IOCTL command encoding fix"

3.6-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Colin Cross <ccross@...roid.com>

commit d38e0e3fed4f58bcddef4dc93a591dfe2f651cb0 upstream.

Commit 6bd4a5d96c08dc2380f8053b1bd4f879f55cd3c9 changed the
ANDROID_ALARM_GET_TIME ioctls from IOW to IOR.  While technically
correct, the _IOC_DIR bits are ignored by alarm_ioctl, so the
commit breaks a userspace ABI used by all existing Android devices
for a purely cosmetic reason.  Revert it.
