pktcdvd: improve BKL and compat_ioctl.c usage

The pktcdvd driver uses proper locking and does not need the BKL in the
ioctl and llseek functions of the character device, so kill both.

Moving the compat_ioctl handling from common code into the driver itself
fixes build problems when CONFIG_BLOCK is disabled.
