[SCSI] ch: fix device minor number management bug
ch_probe uses the total number of ch devices as minor.
ch_probe:
ch->minor = ch_devcount;
...
ch_devcount++;
Then ch_remove decreases ch_devcount:
ch_remove:
ch_devcount--;
If you have two ch devices, sch0 and sch1, and remove sch0,
ch_devcount is 1. Then if you add another ch device, ch_probe tries to
create sch1. So you get a warning and fail to create sch1:

(snip)
This patch converts ch to use a standard minor number management way,
idr like sg and bsg.
