Subject: [PATCH V4 2/4] xen: irqfd: Use _IOW instead of the internal _IOC() macro

_IOC() an internal helper that we should not use in driver code.  In
particular, we got the data direction wrong here, which breaks a number
of tools, as having "_IOC_NONE" should never be paired with a nonzero
size.

Use _IOW() instead.

Fixes: f8941e6c4c71 ("xen: privcmd: Add support for irqfd")
Reported-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@...nel.org>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/all/268a2031-63b8-4c7d-b1e5-8ab83ca80b4a@app.fastmail.com/
