compat_hdio_ioctl: Fix a declaration

This patch avoids that sparse reports the following warning messages:

block/compat_ioctl.c:85:11: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
block/compat_ioctl.c:85:11:    expected unsigned long *[noderef] <asn:1>p
block/compat_ioctl.c:85:11:    got void [noderef] <asn:1>*
block/compat_ioctl.c:91:21: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
block/compat_ioctl.c:91:21:    expected void const volatile [noderef] <asn:1>*<noident>
block/compat_ioctl.c:91:21:    got unsigned long *[noderef] <asn:1>p
block/compat_ioctl.c:87:53: warning: dereference of noderef expression
block/compat_ioctl.c:91:21: warning: dereference of noderef expression
