[PATCH -v2] Only honor the FIGETBSZ ioctl for regular files and directories

FIGETBSZ has an ioctl number of _IO(0x00,2) == 2, which can conflict
with device driver ioctls.  Let's avoid the potential for problems by
only honoring the ioctl number for files where this ioctl is likely
going to be useful: regular files, directories, and symlinks.

Thanks to Johannes Stezenbach for pointing this consequence of commit
19ba0559.
