Factor out ovl_ioctl() and ovl_compat_ioctl() and take use of them for

This change is buggy. I had already posted it and self NACKed myself [1].

You can find an hopefully non-buggy version of it on my ovl-shutdown [2] branch.

As long as you are changing ovl_ioctl(), please also take the second
commit on that
branch to replace the open coded capability check with the
vfs_ioc_setflags_prepare()
generic helper.
Hi Amir,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. :-)
I will try to read and understand the metioned patches on your
ovl-shutdown branch.
Please also verify my claim in the patch commit message, that the
the test result of xfstest generic/079 changes from "notrun" to "success".
Hi Amir,

With your patches, I have confirmed that generic/079 actually changed from
"notrun" to "success".  Besides, one minor issue:
Could we avoid the following compiler warning?
-------------------------------------------------
fs/overlayfs/readdir.c: In function ‘ovl_dir_real_file’:
fs/overlayfs/readdir.c:883:37: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘ovl_dir_open_realfile’ discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  883 |    realfile = ovl_dir_open_realfile(file, &upperpath);
      |                                     ^~~~
fs/overlayfs/readdir.c:842:56: note: expected ‘struct file *’ but argument is of type ‘const struct file *’

      |                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~

Best Regards,
Xiao Yang
Thanks,
Amir.
