scsi: documentation: Fix case of 'scsi_device' struct mention(s)
In scsi_mid_low_api.txt a the scsi_device structure is mentioned several times, but the leading 's' is uppercase (Scsi_device) and should be lowercase (scsi_device). Fixed by this commit. Signed-off-by: John Pittman <jpittman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
