rust: use libc::Ioctl type for ioctl() request argument
The second argument to ioctl() can be defined as a different type by
different libc implementations, and can be a different size on different
architectures depending on what type it is defined as. For example,
glibc defines it as `unsigned long` which may have a different size on
32-bit vs. 64-bit architectures, and musl libc defines it as `int`.
The Rust libc crate exposes a type `libc::Ioctl` which is defined as the
appropriate integer type for the given libc implementation. Using this
type for the request argument to `libc::ioctl()` ensures code will
compile correctly regardless of architecture and libc implementation.
Also, because ioctl request numbers are defined to be 32 bits
(regardless of the fact that `unsigned long` might sometimes take 64
bits on some architectures), this patch changes the Rust representation
of the bcachefs ioctl numbers to u32 instead of u64.
