Subject: [PATCH] mmc: fix host release issue after discard operation

Under function mmc_blk_issue_rq, after an MMC discard operation,
the MMC request data structure may be freed in memory. Later in
the same function, the check of req->cmd_flags & MMC_REQ_SPECIAL_MASK
is dangerous and invalid. It causes the MMC host not being released
when it should

This patch fixes the issue by marking the special request down before
the discard/flush operation
