mmc: sdio: Add API to manage SDIO IRQs from a workqueue

For hosts not supporting MMC_CAP2_SDIO_IRQ_NOTHREAD but MMC_CAP_SDIO_IRQ,
the SDIO IRQs are processed from a dedicated kernel thread. For these
cases, the host calls mmc_signal_sdio_irq() from its ISR to signal a new
SDIO IRQ.

Signaling an SDIO IRQ makes the host's ->enable_sdio_irq() callback to be
invoked to temporary disable the IRQs, before the kernel thread is woken up
to process it. When processing of the IRQs are completed, they are
re-enabled by the kernel thread, again via invoking the host's
->enable_sdio_irq().

The observation from this, is that the execution path is being unnecessary
complex, as the host driver already knows that it needs to temporary
disable the IRQs before signaling a new one. Moreover, replacing the kernel
thread with a work/workqueue would not only greatly simplify the code, but
also make it more robust.

To address the above problems, let's continue to build upon the support for
MMC_CAP2_SDIO_IRQ_NOTHREAD, as it already implements SDIO IRQs to be
processed without using the clumsy kernel thread and without the ping-pong
calls of the host's ->enable_sdio_irq() callback for each processed IRQ.

Therefore, let's add new API sdio_signal_irq(), which enables hosts to
signal/process SDIO IRQs by using a work/workqueue, rather than using the
kernel thread.

Add also a new host callback ->ack_sdio_irq(), which the work invokes when
the SDIO IRQs have been processed. This informs the host about when it
shall re-enable the SDIO IRQs. Potentially, we could re-use the existing
->enable_sdio_irq() callback instead of adding a new one, however it has
turned out that it's more convenient for hosts to get this information via
a separate callback.

Hosts that wants to use this new method to signal/process SDIO IRQs, must
enable MMC_CAP2_SDIO_IRQ_NOTHREAD and implement the ->ack_sdio_irq()
callback.
