Subject: [PATCH] mmc: sdhci: Don't signal the sdio irq if it's not setup

With 3.14.29 (and older kernels) some of my I.mx6 Sabrelite boards were
crashing with the following oops:

  sdhci: Secure Digital Host Controller Interface driver
  sdhci: Copyright(c) Pierre Ossman
  sdhci-pltfm: SDHCI platform and OF driver helper
  sdhci-esdhc-imx 2198000.usdhc: could not get ultra high speed state, work on normal mode
  mmc0: no vqmmc regulator found
  mmc0: SDHCI controller on 2198000.usdhc [2198000.usdhc] using ADMA
  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
  pgd = c0004000
  [00000000] *pgd=00000000
  Internal error: Oops: 5 [#1] SMP ARM

Full boot log can be found at:
  http://storage.kernelci.org/stable/v3.14.29/arm-multi_v7_defconfig/lab-collabora/boot-imx6q-sabrelite.html

This happens if the sdhci interrupt status contains SDHCI_INT_CARD_INT,
while the sdio irq was never setup.  This patch fixes that in a minimal
way by checking if the sdio irq was setup.

In more recent kernels this bug went away due to refactoring done by
Russel King. So an alternative (potentially better?) fix for this patch
is to cherrypick the following patches from a recent kernel:

18258f7239a6 - genirq: Provide synchronize_hardirq()
bf3b5ec66bd0 - mmc: sdio_irq: rework sdio irq handling
41005003bcaf - mmc: sdhci: clean up interrupt handling
781e989cf593 - mmc: sdhci: convert to new SDIO IRQ handling
