In order to avoid needless #ifdef CONFIG_COMPAT checks,
move the compat_ptr() definition to linux/compat.h
where it can be seen by any file regardless of the
architecture.

Only s390 needs a special definition, this can use the
self-#define trick we have elsewhere.

For x86:

Reviewed-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

It still suffers from the zero-one-infinity rule failure of the compat
architecture as a whole, but that is a very different problem. In this case
"compat" is obviously meaning "a 32-on-64 ABI" and simply centralizes a common
API, which is a Good Thing[TM].

Is there a reason we cast to u32 directly instead of using compat_uptr_t?

Probably Al found this to be more explicit at the time when he introduced
it on all the architectures in 2005. I just moved it here and kept the
definition.

Did compat_uptr_t exist back then?

Yes, compat_uptr_t (and the earlier compat_ptr_t) goes back
to at least 2003 with the introduction of compat_ptr().

These are some related commits from bitkeeper:

commit 29d04cca305a93cfa90afe1c6440ce5421837213
Author: Stephen Rothwell <sfr@canb.auug.org.au>
Date:   Sun Mar 23 04:59:16 2003 -0800

    [PATCH] compat_uptr_t and compat_ptr

    This creates compat_uptr_t (to represent a user mode pointer passed to
    the kernel other than as a syscall parameter) and compat_ptr() to
    convert it to a kernel pointer.

    This fixes a couple of bugs in s390x (where the conversion of pointers
    actually does something).
