Subject: [RESEND RFC v2] mmc: Change the max discard sectors and erase response if mmc host supports busy signalling

When mmc host HW supports busy signalling (using R1B as response), We
shouldn't use 'host->max_busy_timeout' as the limitation when deciding
the max discard sectors that we tell the generic BLOCK layer about.
Instead, we should pick one preferred erase size as the max discard
sectors.

If the host controller supports busy signalling and the timeout for
the erase operation does not exceed the max_busy_timeout, we should
use R1B response. Or we need to prevent the host from doing hw busy
detection, which is done by converting to a R1 response instead.

Changes since v1:
  - Remove the 'MMC_CAP_WAIT_WHILE_BUSY' flag checking when deciding
    the max discard sectors.
