Subject: [PATCH] Convert drivers/scsi/ch.c to use unlocked_ioctl

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().
