that wont work - a better replacement fix is the one below. The problem
is that scsi.h is included even on !CONFIG_BLOCK and then the
BLK_MAX_CDB symbol is meaningless.

scsi: fix build error in fs/compat_ioctl.c

-tip testing found that the build broke in fs/compat_ioctl.c:

scsi_cmnd.h depends on symbols defined in blkdev.h but those symbols
are not available if !CONFIG_BLOCK.

Only include scsi/scsi_cmnd.h if on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(those methods are not used when CONFIG_BLOCK is off anyway).
