    sppp: Fix getting wrong spppreq cmd from ioctl

    ifr->ifr_data is supposed to point to a struct spppreq. The first member
    cmd of struct spppreq is int type. It was pre-read via `fueword()` befo=
re
    a full fetching. Unfortunately an user space `struct spppreq spr` may n=
ot
    be zeroed explicitly, on 64bit architectures `fueword()` reads 64bit wo=
rd
    thus the garbage (extra 4 bytes) may be read into kernel space (subcmd).

    Prior to f9d8181868ee, `subcmd` was declared as int and assigned from
    `fuword()` and was implicitly converted from long to int. On 64bit litt=
le
    endian architectures the implicitly conversion overflows (undefined
    bahavior) which happen to trash the garbage (the extra 4 bytes, high
    32 bits) and worked, but no luck on 64bit big endian architectures.

    Since f9d8181868ee `subcmd` was changed to u_long then there is no
    conversion so we end up mismatching `subcmd` with user space's `cmd`.

    It is also a bit hackish to get the value of cmd via `fueword()`, inste=
ad
    we refer to it directly from spr->cmd.

    This is a direct commit to stable/13 as sppp(4) no longer exists in main
    and stable/14.
