All watchdog drivers implement the same set of ioctl commands, and
fortunately all of them are compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit

Modern drivers always go through drivers/watchdog/wdt.c as an abstraction
layer, but older ones implement their own file_operations on a character
device for this.

Move the handling from fs/compat_ioctl.c into the individual drivers.

Note that most of the legacy drivers will never be used on 64-bit
hardware, because they are for an old 32-bit SoC implementation, but
doing them all at once is safer than trying to guess which ones do
or do not need the compat_ioctl handling.

This patch doesn't seem to have a useful base (or at least git says so).
It does not apply to mainline nor to my own watchdog-next branch.
I assume you plan to apply the entire series together. Please not
that there will be conflicts against watchdog-next when you do so.
