Subject: [PATCH v3 08/26] compat_ioctl: add compat_ptr_ioctl()

Many drivers have ioctl() handlers that are completely compatible between
32-bit and 64-bit architectures, except for the argument that is passed
down from user space and may have to be passed through compat_ptr()
in order to become a valid 64-bit pointer.

Using ".compat_ptr = compat_ptr_ioctl" in file operations should let
us simplify a lot of those drivers to avoid #ifdef checks, and convert
additional drivers that don't have proper compat handling yet.

v2: use compat_ptr_ioctl instead of generic_compat_ioctl_ptrarg,
as suggested by Al Viro
