Subject: [PATCH v2 11/16] mmc: core: Implement foreground request preemption procedure

When invoked, ongoing command at the host controller should abort
and completion should be invoked.

It's quite possible that the interruption will race with the
successful completion of the command. If so, HPI is invoked
only when the low level driver sets an error flag for the
aborted request.
