media: v4l2: prepare compat-ioctl rework
The v4l2-compat-ioctl32() currently takes an extra round trip through user space pointers when converting the data structure formats. In particular, this involves using the compat_alloc_user_space() and copy_in_user() helpers that often lead to worse compat handlers compared to using in_compat_syscall() checks when copying the data. The native implementation already gained a simpler method to deal with the conversion for the time32 conversion. Hook into the same places to provide a location for reading and writing user space data from inside of the generic video_usercopy() helper. Hans Verkuil rewrote the video_get_user() function here to simplify the zeroing of the extra input fields and fixed a couple of bugs in the original implementation.
