[SCSI] Remove scsi_wait_scan module

scsi_wait_scan was introduced with asynchronous host scanning as a hack
for distributions that weren't using proper udev based wait for root to
appear in their initramfs scripts.  In 2.6.30 Commit

    PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume

Actually broke scsi_wait_scan because it renders
scsi_complete_async_scans() a nop for modular SCSI if you include
scsi_scans.h (which this module does).

The lack of bug reports is sufficient proof that this module is no
longer used.

# scsi_wait_scan is a loadable module which waits until all the async scans are
# complete. The idea is to use it in initrd/ initramfs scripts. You modprobe
# it after all the modprobes of the root SCSI drivers and it will wait until
# they have all finished scanning their buses before allowing the boot to
# proceed. (This method is not applicable if targets boot independently in
# parallel with the initiator, or with transports with non-deterministic target
# discovery schemes, or if a transport driver does not support scsi_wait_scan.)

# This symbol is not exposed as a prompt because little is to be gained by
# disabling it, whereas people who accidentally switch it off may wonder why
# their mkinitrd gets into trouble.
