block: ublk: switch to ioctl command encoding
All ublk commands(control, IO) should have taken ioctl command encoding from the beginning, because ioctl command encoding defines each code uniquely, so driver can figure out wrong command sent from userspace easily; 2) it might help security subsystem for audit uring cmd[1]. Unfortunately we didn't do that way, and it could be one lesson for ublk driver. So switch to ioctl command encoding now, we still support commands encoded in old way, but they become legacy definition. Any new command should take ioctl encoding. See ublksrv code for switching to ioctl command encoding in [2].

+ ublk driver started to take plain command encoding, which turns out
+ one bad way. The traditional ioctl command opcode encodes more
+ info and basically defines each code uniquely, so opcode conflict
+ is avoided, and driver can handle wrong command easily, meantime it
+ may help security subsystem to audit io_uring command.
+
+ Say Y if your application still uses legacy command opcode.
+
+ Say N if you don't want to support legacy command opcode. It is
+ suggested to enable N if your application(ublk server) switches to
+ ioctl command encoding.
