So looking at it again I found a bug: we return EINVAL on an invalid
ioctl, but the compat layer expects ENOIOCTLCMD so it returns using the
generic compat bits. Returning ENOIOCTLCMD from unlocked_ioctl is fine
aswell as the ioctl layer turns it back. The patch below fix this issue
and the missing semicolon after lock_kernel()
