Documentation/process/botching-up-ioctls.rst was orignally written as
a blog post for DRM driver writers, so it it misses some points while
going into a lot of detail on others.

Try to provide a replacement that addresses typical issues across a wider
range of subsystems, and follows the style of the core-api documentation
better.
