Actually, this isn't the right fix.  The problem lies in the conversion
of the transport class from semaphore to mutex, so the include belongs
in scsi_transport_spi.h

In theory, it could be a simple 'struct mutex' declaration, since no
driver ever uses it, but I'm afraid gcc might not be happy dereferencing
members of a structure containing a type of unknown size (even if it is
at the end).
