floppy: disable FDRAWCMD by default

Minh Yuan reported a concurrency use-after-free issue in the floppy code
between raw_cmd_ioctl and seek_interrupt.

[ It turns out this has been around, and that others have reported the
  KASAN splats over the years, but Minh Yuan had a reproducer for it and
  so gets primary credit for reporting it for this fix   - Linus ]

The problem is, this driver tends to break very easily and nowadays,
nobody is expected to use FDRAWCMD anyway since it was used to
manipulate non-standard formats.  The risk of breaking the driver is
higher than the risk presented by this race, and accessing the device
requires privileges anyway.

Let's just add a config option to completely disable this ioctl and
leave it disabled by default.  Distros shouldn't use it, and only those
running on antique hardware might need to enable it.
