[SCSI] kill scsi_assign_lock

Browse source 
scsi_assign_lock has been unused for a long time and is a bad idea
in general, so kill it.

Each struct Scsi_Host instance has a spin_lock called struct
Scsi_Host::default_lock which is initialized in scsi_host_alloc() [found in
hosts.c]. Within the same function the struct Scsi_Host::host_lock pointer
is initialized to point at default_lock with the scsi_assign_lock() function.
Thereafter lock and unlock operations performed by the mid level use the
struct Scsi_Host::host_lock pointer.
is initialized to point at default_lock. Thereafter lock and unlock
operations performed by the mid level use the struct Scsi_Host::host_lock
pointer. Previously drivers could override the host_lock pointer but
this is not allowed anymore.
LLDs can override the use of struct Scsi_Host::default_lock by
using scsi_assign_lock(). The earliest opportunity to do this would
be in the detect() function after it has invoked scsi_register(). It
could be replaced by a coarser grain lock (e.g. per driver) or a
lock of equal granularity (i.e. per host). Using finer grain locks
(e.g. per SCSI device) may be possible by juggling locks in
queuecommand().
