This is one more of those annoying selects.  The SCSI_DH Kconfig file is
correctly dependent on SCSI:

menuconfig SCSI_DH
	tristate "SCSI Device Handlers"
	depends on SCSI
	default n
	help

but we've also got a select in md/Kconfig:

config DM_MULTIPATH
	tristate "Multipath target"
	depends on BLK_DEV_DM
	select SCSI_DH

Which ignores the dependency.

My best guess for fixing this is either to make the select a depends or
just drop it altogether (after all, it's possible to have multipath on
non-SCSI devices).
