The drm compat ioctl path takes a user controlled pointer, and then
dereferences it into a table of function pointers, the signature method
of spectre problems.  Fix this up by calling array_index_nospec() on the
index to the function pointer list.

My scripts caught this codepath as not being "protected" for the
old-school spectre attack.  I don't know how realistic it is, but it
seems like this is the correct thing to be doing for a 32bit ioctl on
the drm path, as "local" users can make these.

Seems reasonable.
