Hi,

This survives basic testing here, but I don't know what that counts for
when I couldn't reproduce the lockdep report in the first place. Please
review.

It turns out that sock_setsockopt() is calling copy_from_user() while
holding the lock on the socket. We fix it by splitting the ioctl code
so that one switch handles the ioctls that have their own code for
reading from userspace, and one switch handles the cases that require
no additional reading.
