scsi: remove the old scsi_module.c initialization model

After more than 15 years all users of this legacy interface are finally
gone.  Rest in peace!

-Passive initialization model
-============================
-These older LLDs include a file called "scsi_module.c" [yes the ".c" is a
-little surprising] in their source code. For that file to work an
-instance of struct scsi_host_template with the name "driver_template"
-needs to be defined. Here is a typical code sequence used in this model:
-    static struct scsi_host_template driver_template = {
-        ...
-    };
-    #include "scsi_module.c"
-
-The scsi_module.c file contains two functions:
-  - init_this_scsi_driver() which is executed when the LLD is
-    initialized (i.e. boot time or module load time)
-  - exit_this_scsi_driver() which is executed when the LLD is shut
-    down (i.e. module unload time)
-Note: since these functions are tagged with __init and __exit qualifiers
-an LLD should not call them explicitly (since the kernel does that).
-
-Here is an example of an initialization sequence when two hosts are
-detected (so detect() returns 2) and the SCSI bus scan on each host
-finds 1 SCSI device (and a second device does not respond).

-The mid level invokes scsi_change_queue_depth() with "cmd_per_lun" for that
-host as the queue length. These settings can be overridden by a
-slave_configure() supplied by the LLD.

-*** For scsi devices that the mid level tries to scan but do not
-    respond, a slave_alloc(), slave_destroy() pair is called.

-------------------------------------------------------------

-An LLD need not define slave_destroy() (i.e. it is optional). 
-
-The shortcoming of the "passive initialization model" is that host
-registration and de-registration are (typically) tied to LLD initialization
-and shutdown. Once the LLD is initialized then a new host that appears
-(e.g. via hotplugging) cannot easily be added without a redundant
-driver shutdown and re-initialization. It may be possible to write an LLD
-that uses both initialization models.
