[ Upstream commit 0d5679a0aae2d8cda72169452c32e5cb88a7ab33 ]

This is almost compatible, but passing a negative offset should result
in a EINVAL error, but on mips o32 compat mode would seek to a large
32-bit byte offset.

Use compat_sys_lseek() to correctly sign-extend the argument.

<title>syscalls: fix compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64 usage</title>

<content type='text'>
commit d3882564a77c21eb746ba5364f3fa89b88de3d61 upstream.

Using sys_io_pgetevents() as the entry point for compat mode tasks
works almost correctly, but misses the sign extension for the min_nr
and nr arguments.

This was addressed on parisc by switching to
compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64() in commit 6431e92fc827 ("parisc:
io_pgetevents_time64() needs compat syscall in 32-bit compat mode"),
as well as by using more sophisticated system call wrappers on x86 and
s390. However, arm64, mips, powerpc, sparc and riscv still have the
same bug.

Change all of them over to use compat_sys_io_pgetevents_time64()
like parisc already does. This was clearly the intention when the
function was originally added, but it got hooked up incorrectly in
the tables.

The bdflush system call has been deprecated for a very long time.
Recently Michael Schmitz tested[1] and found that the last known
caller of of the bdflush system call is unaffected by it's removal.

Since the code is not needed delete it.
