qla2xxx: Correct compilation issues when CONFIG_MOUDLES=n (was:Re: linux-next: Tree for September 7 (scsi/qla2x))

[Andrew Vasquez]

Randy Dunlap noted:

  when CONFIG_MODULES=n:

	drivers/scsi/qla2xxx/qla_os.c:2685: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

  in
	kobject_uevent_env(&(&vha->hw->pdev->driver->driver)->owner->mkobj.kobj,
		KOBJ_CHANGE, envp);
