Subject: [PATCH] scsi: make SCSI_MOD depend on BLOCK for cleaner .config files

SCSI_MOD is a helper config symbol for configuring RAID_ATTRS properly,
i.e., RAID_ATTRS needs to be m when SCSI=m.

This helper config symbol SCSI_MOD still shows up even in kernel
configurations that do not select the block subsystem and where SCSI is
not even a configuration option mentioned and selectable.

Make this SCSI_MOD depend on BLOCK, so that it only shows up when it is
slightly relevant in the kernel configuration.
