compat_ioctl: reimplement SG_IO handling
There are two code locations that implement the SG_IO ioctl: the old sg.c driver, and the generic scsi_ioctl helper that is in turn used by multiple drivers. To eradicate the old compat_ioctl conversion handler for the SG_IO command, I implement a readable pair of put_sg_io_hdr() /get_sg_io_hdr() helper functions that can be used for both compat and native mode, and then I call this from both drivers. For the iovec handling, there is already a compat_import_iovec() function that can simply be called in place of import_iovec(). To avoid having to pass the compat/native state through multiple indirections, I mark the SG_IO command itself as compatible in fs/compat_ioctl.c and use in_compat_syscall() to figure out where we are called from. As a side-effect of this, the sg.c driver now also accepts the 32-bit sg_io_hdr format in compat mode using the read/write interface, not just ioctl. This should improve compatiblity with old 32-bit binaries, but it would break if any application intentionally passes the 64-bit data structure in compat mode here. Steffen Maier helped debug an issue in an earlier version of this patch.
