Subject: [PATCH 4.0 051/220] mmc: tmio: Remove bogus un-initialization in tmio_mmc_host_free()

4.0-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 13a6a2ed1f5e77ae47c2b1a8e3bf22b2fa2d56ba upstream.

If CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB=y:

    sh_mobile_sdhi ee100000.sd: Got WP GPIO
    platform ee100000.sd: Driver sh_mobile_sdhi requests probe deferral

    2d0: 00 00 00 00 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b  ....kkkkkkkkkkkk
    Prev obj: start=ed8b3800, len=1024

Struct tmio_mmc_host is embedded inside struct mmc_host, and thus is
freed by the call to mmc_free_host(). Hence it must not be written to
afterwards, as that will corrupt freed (and perhaps already reused)
memory.
