scsi/sd: remove big kernel lock

Every user of the BKL in the sd driver is the
result of the pushdown from the block layer
into the open/close/ioctl functions.

The only place that used to rely on the BKL is
the sdkp->openers variable, which gets converted
into an atomic_t.

Nothing else seems to rely on the BKL, since the
functions do not touch global data without holding
another lock, and the open/close functions are
still protected from concurrent execution using
the bdev->bd_mutex.
