These IOCTL commands should be implemented by setting attributes on the
superblock, rather than in the IOCTL hooks in struct file_operations.
By returning -ENOTTY instead of -ENOIOCTLCMD, we instruct the fs/ioctl.c
logic to return -ENOTTY immediately, rather than attempting to call
f_op->unlocked_ioctl() or f_op->compat_ioctl() as a fallback.
Why this is safe:
Before this change, fs/ioctl.c would unsuccessfully attempt calling the
IOCTL hooks, and then return -ENOTTY. By returning -ENOTTY directly, we
return the same error code immediately, but save ourselves the fallback
attempt.
Motivation:
This simplifies the logic for these IOCTL commands and lets us reason about
the side effects of these IOCTLs more easily. It will be possible to
permit these IOCTLs under LSM IOCTL policies, without having to worry about
them getting dispatched to problematic device drivers (which sometimes do
work before looking at the IOCTL command number).
