I don't know much about this driver so I don't personally know if
"true, true" is the correct thing to pass to brcmf_sdio_rxfail(), but
it seems plausible.  Definitely the fix to call sdio_release_host() is
sane.

Thus, unless someone knows for sure that brcmf_sdio_rxfail()'s
parameters should be different:
