net/tun: handle compat_ioctl directly
The tun driver is the only code in the kernel that operates
on a character device with struct ifreq. Change the driver
to handle the conversion itself so we can contain the
remaining ifreq handling in the socket layer.
This also fixes a bug in the handling of invalid ioctl
numbers on an unbound tun device. The driver treats this
as a TUNSETIFF in native mode, but there is no way for
the generic compat_ioctl() function to emulate this
behaviour. Possibly the driver was only doing this
accidentally anyway, but if any code relies on this
misfeature, it now also works in compat mode.
