All other user triggered operations are gone from ndo_ioctl, so move
the SIOCBOND family into a custom operation as well.
The .ndo_ioctl() helper is no longer called by the dev_ioctl.c code now,
but there are still a few definitions in obsolete wireless drivers as well
as the appletalk and ieee802154 layers to call SIOCSIFADDR/SIOCGIFADDR
helpers from inside the kernel.

In order to further reduce the scope of ndo_do_ioctl(), move
out the SIOCWANDEV handling into a new network device operation
function.
Adjust the prototype to only pass the if_settings sub-structure
in place of the ifreq, and remove the redundant 'cmd' argument
in the process.

SIOCDEVPRIVATE ioctl commands are mainly used in really old
drivers, and they have a number of problems:
- They hide behind the normal .ndo_do_ioctl function that
is also used for other things in modern drivers, so it's
hard to spot a driver that actually uses one of these
- Since drivers use a number different calling conventions,
it is impossible to support compat mode for them in
a generic way.
- With all drivers using the same 16 commands codes, there
is no way to introspect the data being passed through
things like strace.
Add a new net_device_ops callback pointer, to address the
first two of these. Separating them from .ndo_do_ioctl
makes it easy to grep for drivers with a .ndo_siocdevprivate
callback, and the unwieldy name hopefully makes it easier
to spot in code review.
By passing the ifreq structure and the ifr_data pointer
separately, it is no longer necessary to overload these,
and the driver can use either one for a given command.
