This reverts commit bf4405737f9f ("kill dev_ifsioc()").
This wasn't really unused as implied by the original commit,
it still handles the copy to/from user differently, and the
commit thus caused issues such as
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=199469
and
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202273
However, deviating from a strict revert, rename dev_ifsioc()
to compat_ifreq_ioctl() to be clearer as to its purpose and
add a comment.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
