As of now, agp_compat_ioctl already runs without the BKL. Mutual exclusion
is enforced by agp_fe.agp_mutex in agp_ioctl() and agp_compat_ioctl().
Apply the same locking rationale to the two functions allowing BKL cleanup.

Define _sta() helper conditionally; also remove its prototype from

This function is only needed when the bay or the dock subdriver is
