Jialing Fu 71f8a4b81d mmc: core: fix race condition in mmc_wait_data_done
The following panic is captured in ker3.14, but the issue still exists
in latest kernel.

Because in SMP, "mrq" has race condition between below two paths:
path1: CPU0: <tasklet context>
  static void mmc_wait_data_done(struct mmc_request *mrq)
  {
     mrq->host->context_info.is_done_rcv = true;
     //
     // If CPU0 has just finished "is_done_rcv = true" in path1, and at
     // this moment, IRQ or ICache line missing happens in CPU0.
     // What happens in CPU1 (path2)?
     //
     // If the mmcqd thread in CPU1(path2) hasn't entered to sleep mode:
     // path2 would have chance to break from wait_event_interruptible
     // in mmc_wait_for_data_req_done and continue to run for next
     // mmc_request (mmc_blk_rw_rq_prep).
     //
     // Within mmc_blk_rq_prep, mrq is cleared to 0.
     // If below line still gets host from "mrq" as the result of
     // compiler, the panic happens as we traced.
     wake_up_interruptible(&mrq->host->context_info.wait);
  }

path2: CPU1: <The mmcqd thread runs mmc_queue_thread>
  static int mmc_wait_for_data_req_done(...
  {
     ...
     while (1) {
           wait_event_interruptible(context_info->wait,
                   (context_info->is_done_rcv ||
                    context_info->is_new_req));
     	   static void mmc_blk_rw_rq_prep(...
           {
           ...
           memset(brq, 0, sizeof(struct mmc_blk_request));

This issue happens very coincidentally; however adding mdelay(1) in
mmc_wait_data_done as below could duplicate it easily.

   static void mmc_wait_data_done(struct mmc_request *mrq)
   {
     mrq->host->context_info.is_done_rcv = true;
+    mdelay(1);
     wake_up_interruptible(&mrq->host->context_info.wait);
    }

At runtime, IRQ or ICache line missing may just happen at the same place
of the mdelay(1).

This patch gets the mmc_context_info at the beginning of function, it can
avoid this race condition.
