Subject: [RFC] mmc:change mmc_init workqueue into a freezable workqueue

This patch fix the mmc driver suspend/resume conflict problems,
mmc workqueue will queue mmc_rescan(), and it will call some
pm_runtime_* functions, this will conflict with suspend path sometimes,
and will result in some strange behavior:

Suspend path:
	-000 |context_switch(inline)
	-000 |__schedule()
	-001 |schedule_preempt_disabled()
	-002 |spin_lock(inline)

mmc_rescan() resume path:
	 -000 |context_switch(inline)
	 -000 |__schedule()
	 -001 |do_undefinstr(regs = 0xD12242F0)

most mmc power callback function don't check this special case, and
will cause problems, make sure the workqueue is stopped during suspend
is more safe.
