Pointer arguments passed to ioctls need to pass through compat_ptr() to
work correctly on s390; as explained in Documentation/driver-api/ioctl.rst.
Detect compat mode at runtime and call compat_ptr() for those commands
which do take pointer arguments.

Changes in v2:
- Use in_compat_syscall()
- Discard changes outside drivers/ptp/, they are independent,
unsuited for the net tree and will be submitted on their own
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250121-posix-clock-compat_ioctl-v1-1-c70d5433a825@weissschuh.net
