[PATCH 11/12 v4] mmc: block: issue requests in massive parallel

[Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org>]

This makes a crucial change to the issueing mechanism for the
MMC requests:

Before commit "mmc: core: move the asynchronous post-processing"
some parallelism on the read/write requests was achieved by
speculatively postprocessing a request and re-preprocess and
re-issue the request if something went wrong, which we discover
later when checking for an error.

This is kind of ugly. Instead we need a mechanism like here:

We issue requests, and when they come back from the hardware,
we know if they finished successfully or not. If the request
was successful, we complete the asynchronous request and let a
new request immediately start on the hardware. If, and only if,
it returned an error from the hardware we go down the error
path.

This is achieved by splitting the work path from the hardware
in two: a successful path ending up calling down to
mmc_blk_rw_done() and completing quickly, and an errorpath
calling down to mmc_blk_rw_done_error().

This has a profound effect: we reintroduce the parallelism on
the successful path as mmc_post_req() can now be called in
while the next request is in transit (just like prior to
commit "mmc: core: move the asynchronous post-processing")
and blk_end_request() is called while the next request is
already on the hardware.

The latter has the profound effect of issuing a new request
again so that we actually may have three requests
in transit at the same time: one on the hardware, one being
prepared (such as DMA flushing) and one being prepared for
issuing next by the block layer. This shows up when we
transit to multiqueue, where this can be exploited.
