Subject: [067/244] mmc: core: use non-reentrant workqueue for clock gating

3.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Mika Westerberg <mika.westerberg@...ux.intel.com>

commit 50a50f9248497484c678631a9c1a719f1aaeab79 upstream.

The default multithread workqueue can cause the same work to be executed
concurrently on a different CPUs. This isn't really suitable for clock
gating as it might already gated the clock and gating it twice results both
host->clk_old and host->ios.clock to be set to 0.

To prevent this from happening we use system_nrt_wq instead.
