Subject: [PATCH 12/45] fs: add do_compat_fcntl64() helper; remove in-kernel call to comapt syscall

Using the fs-internal do_compat_fcntl64() helper allows us to get rid of
the fs-internal call to the compat_sys_fcntl64() syscall.

This patch is part of a series which tries to remove in-kernel calls to
syscalls. On this basis, the syscall entry path can be streamlined.
