Subject: [PATCH] fs/nsfs.c: fix ioctl support of compat processes

According to Documentation/driver-api/ioctl.rst, in order to support
32-bit user space running on a 64-bit kernel, each subsystem or driver
that implements an ioctl callback handler must also implement the
corresponding compat_ioctl handler.  The compat_ptr_ioctl() helper can
be used in place of a custom compat_ioctl file operation for drivers
that only take arguments that are pointers to compatible data
structures.

In case of NS_* ioctls only NS_GET_OWNER_UID accepts an argument, and
this argument is a pointer to uid_t type, which is universally defined
to __kernel_uid32_t.

This change fixes compat strace --pidns-translation.

Note: when backporting this patch to stable kernels, commit
"compat_ioctl: add compat_ptr_ioctl()" is needed as well.
