Setting the compat_ioctl to the same thing as unlocked_ioctl shouldn't
be necessary, compat_sys_ioctl will fall through to do_vfs_ioctl if
compat_ioctl is not set, which will call unlocked_ioctl.

Whoops, missed that one. Can you add "int padding" after "int write"
instead? That at least lets us use the 32 bits later.
