Before commit bdc1ddad3e5f ("compat_ioctl: block: move
blkdev_compat_ioctl() into ioctl.c"), the config BLOCK_COMPAT was used to
include compat_ioctl.c into the kernel build. With this commit, the code
is moved into ioctl.c and included with the config COMPAT. So, since then,
the config BLOCK_COMPAT has no effect and any further purpose.

Remove this obsolete config BLOCK_COMPAT.
