rust: redefine
There is currently an inconsistency between C and Rust, which is that
when Rust requires cfg(CONFIG_COMPAT) on compat_ioctl when using the
compat_ptr_ioctl symbol because '#define compat_ptr_ioctl NULL' does not
get translated to anything by bindgen.
But it's not *just* a matter of translating the '#define' into Rust when
CONFIG_COMPAT=n. This is because when CONFIG_COMPAT=y, the type of
compat_ptr_ioctl is a non-nullable function pointer, and to seamlessly
use it regardless of the config, we need a nullable function pointer.
I think it's important to do something about this; I've seen the mistake
of accidentally forgetting '#[cfg(CONFIG_COMPAT)]' when compat_ptr_ioctl
is used multiple times now.
This explicitly declares 'bindings::compat_ptr_ioctl' as an Option that
is always defined but might be None. This matches C, but isn't ideal:
it modifies the bindings crate. But I'm not sure if there's a better way
to do it. If we just redefine in kernel/, then people may still use the
one in bindings::, since that is where you would normally find it. I am
open to suggestions.
