[3.19-stable only] fix backport "IB/security: restrict use of the write() interface"
Upstream commit e6bd18f5 (IB/security: Restrict use of the write() interface) handled the cases for all drivers in the current upstream kernel. The ipath driver had recently been deprecated and moved to staging, and then removed entirely. It had the same security flaw as the qib driver. Fix that up with this separate patch. Note: The ipath driver only supports hardware that ended production over 10 years ago, so there should be none of this hardware still present in the wild.
