Now that we have uapi/scsi/scsi.h, that is the logical place for SCSI ioctl

Remove all scsi_ioctl.h #includes since they all also include scsi/scsi.h,
except for ide-floppy_ioctl.c where we just replace it with including
scsi/scsi.h.
What's the transition plan for userspace? If you look at glibc
currently, it supplies both scsi.h and scsi_ioctl.h. If we're
persuading the glibc folks to go with our versions from uapi, I think
removing a file which is an effective compile breaker for userspace is a
really bad idea. Duplicating scsi_ioctl.h definitions in scsi.h would
also cause them problems.
I will consult with the glibc devs and see what they think, and get back
to you.
