[SRU][Trusty][Yakkety][Xenial][PATCH 1/1] btrfs: fix btrfs_compat_ioctl failures on non-compat ioctls

From: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm at suse.com>

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1619918

Commit 4c63c2454ef incorrectly assumed that returning -ENOIOCTLCMD would
cause the native ioctl to be called.  The ->compat_ioctl callback is
expected to handle all ioctls, not just compat variants.  As a result,
when using 32-bit userspace on 64-bit kernels, everything except those
three ioctls would return -ENOTTY.

Fixes: 4c63c2454ef ("btrfs: bugfix: handle FS_IOC32_{GETFLAGS,SETFLAGS,GETVERSION} in btrfs_ioctl")
