David Woodhouse edd5cd4a94 Introduce fixed sys_sync_file_range2() syscall, implement on PowerPC and ARM
Not all the world is an i386.  Many architectures need 64-bit arguments to be
aligned in suitable pairs of registers, and the original
sys_sync_file_range(int, loff_t, loff_t, int) was therefore wasting an
argument register for padding after the first integer.  Since we don't
normally have more than 6 arguments for system calls, that left no room for
the final argument on some architectures.

Fix this by introducing sys_sync_file_range2(int, int, loff_t, loff_t) which
all fits nicely.  In fact, ARM already had that, but called it
sys_arm_sync_file_range.  Move it to fs/sync.c and rename it, then implement
the needed compatibility routine.  And stop the missing syscall check from
bitching about the absence of sys_sync_file_range() if we've implemented
sys_sync_file_range2() instead.

Tested on PPC32 and with 32-bit and 64-bit userspace on PPC64.
