Arnd Bergmann 98aaaec4a1 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.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
