SCSI: fix race in device_create
There is a race from when a device is created with device_create() and
then the drvdata is set with a call to dev_set_drvdata() in which a
sysfs file could be open, yet the drvdata will be NULL, causing all
sorts of bad things to happen.
This patch fixes the problem by using the new function,
device_create_drvdata(). It fixes the problem in all of the scsi
drivers that need it.

The problem is ch_probe stores ch's private data at a wrong place.
We need to store it at scsi_device->sdev_gendev but the above patch
stores it at device struct that device_create_drvdata returns. So we
hit an oops when ch_remove accesses
scsi_device->sdev_gendev->driver_data, which is NULL.
Actually, there wasn't a race because ch doesn't create sysfs files
with device struct that device_create returns. This patch puts back
dev_set_drvdata() to set ch's private data properly.

ch_probe uses the total number of ch devices as minor.
ch_probe:
ch->minor = ch_devcount;
...
ch_devcount++;
Then ch_remove decreases ch_devcount:
ch_remove:
ch_devcount--;
If you have two ch devices, sch0 and sch1, and remove sch0,
ch_devcount is 1. Then if you add another ch device, ch_probe tries to
create sch1. So you get a warning and fail to create sch1:

As of now, compat_ioctl already runs without the BKL, whereas ioctl runs
with the BKL. This patch first converts changer_fops to use a .unlocked_ioctl
member. It applies the same locking rationale than ch_ioctl_compat() uses
to ch_ioctl().

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h
recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes.
There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need
anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for
macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the
course of cleaning it up.
To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only
removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble.
Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha,
arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig,
allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all
configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were
introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted
by unnecessarily included header files).

Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.
