Commit e6bd18f57aad ("IB/security: Restrict use of the write()
interface") fixed a security problem with various write()
implementations in the Infiniband subsystem.  In older kernel versions
the ipath_write() function has the same problem and needs the same
restriction.  (The ipath driver has been completely removed upstream.)
