fs/compat: fix parameter handling for compat readv/writev syscalls

commit dfd948e32af2e7b28bcd7a490c0a30d4b8df2a36 upstream.

We got a report that the pwritev syscall does not work correctly in
compat mode on s390.

It turned out that with commit 72ec35163f9f ("switch compat readv/writev
variants to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE") we lost the zero extension of a
couple of syscall parameters because the some parameter types haven't
been converted from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t.

This is needed for architectures where the ABI requires that the caller
of a function performed zero and/or sign extension to 64 bit of all
parameters.
