firewire: cdev: add ioctl for broadcast write requests

Write transactions to the broadcast node ID are a convenient way to
trigger functions of multiple nodes at once.  IIDC is a protocol which
can make use of this if multiple cameras with same command_regs_base are
connected at the same bus.

    Subject: [patch] SEND_BROADCAST_REQUEST
Changes:  ioctl_send_request() and ioctl_send_broadcast_request() now
share code.  Broadcast speed corrected to S100.  Check for proper tcode.
