dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable params
Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied
by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains
a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends
on the ioctl and has a variable size.
This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable
part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it.
In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent,
this now avoid memory allocation completely.
The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function
copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel.
It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.
