    VFS: swap do_ioctl and vfs_ioctl names · deb21db7

    Rename old vfs_ioctl to do_ioctl, because the comment above it clearly
    indicates that it is an internal function not to be exported to modules;
    therefore it should have a more traditional do_XXX name.  The new do_ioctl
    is exported in fs.h but not to modules.
    
    Rename the old do_ioctl to vfs_ioctl because the names vfs_XXX should
    preferably be reserved to callable VFS functions which modules may call, as
    many other vfs_XXX functions already do.  Export the new vfs_ioctl to GPL
    modules so others can use it (including Unionfs and eCryptfs).  Add DocBook
    for new vfs_ioctl.
