Subject: [PATCH v2 12/16] mmc: sysfs: Add sysfs entry for tuning preempt_time_threshold

When High Priority Interrupt (HPI) is enabled, ongoing requests
might be preempted. It is worthwhile to not preempt some requests
which have progressed in the underlying driver for some time.

The threshold of elapsed time after which HPI is not useful can
be tuned on a per-device basis, using the hpi_time_threshold
sysfs entry.
