The new ioctl code passes the wrong file pointer to the underlying device.
No file pointer is available so make a temporary fake one.
ioctl_by_bdev() does set_fs(KERNEL_DS) so it's for ioctls originating
within the kernel and unsuitable here. We are processing ioctls that
originated in userspace and mapping them to different devices. Fixing the
existing callers that pass a NULL file struct and consolidating the
fake_file users are separate matters to solve in later patches.

Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper.
If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not
a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second
time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.

When an ioctl is performed on a device with a linear target, simply pass it on
to the underlying block device.
Note that the ioctl will pass through the filtering in blkdev_ioctl() twice.

We don't know what type sector_t has. Sometimes it's unsigned long, sometimes
it's unsigned long long. For example on ppc64 it's unsigned long with
CONFIG_LBD=n and on x86_64 it's unsigned long long with CONFIG_LBD=n.
The way to handle all of this is to always use unsigned long long and to
always typecast the sector_t when printing it.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
