All other headers use _IOC() macros to describe ioctls for a long time

Simply use the _IO() macro. No other changes.

This is a nice cleanup, thanks for doing it, I'll just take this one
change now if you don't object.

Unfortunately, _IOC_NONE is 1 on some archs as noted by Arnd, and this commit changed the kd ioctl values in there which broke stuff as noted by Al.

We either:
* use _IOC(0, X, Y) in here, instead of _IO(X, Y), or
* define KDIOC(X) as _IOC(0, KD_IOCTL_BASE, X), or
* revert the commit which landed to -rc1 already.

thanks,
