unix: generate ioctlPtr on Linux with unsafe.Pointer arg
The existing ioctl stubs for all UNIX-like platforms take a value of type
uintptr for the arg parameter. However, arguments which are cast from
unsafe.Pointer to uintptr technically violate the rules for package unsafe.
unsafe only allows a conversion from unsafe.Pointer to uintptr directly
within a call to Syscall.
ioctl is used on all UNIX-like operating systems and each one will have
to be updated accordingly where pointer arguments are passed to system
calls. To remedy this on Linux, we generate a new function called
ioctlPtr which takes a value of type unsafe.Pointer for arg. More
operating systems can be updated in future CLs by folks who have access
to those systems and can run the appropriate code generator.
