This looks good, but I think there needs to be another change also.  I will
send a patch for that, but in the meantime maybe you could straighten up the
code flow through the spinlock e.g.

	spin_lock_irqsave(&mq->lock, flags);
	ignore = mq->recovery_needed || !mq->use_cqe || host->hsq_enabled;
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(&mq->lock, flags);

	return ignore ? BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER : mmc_cqe_timed_out(req);

And add a fixes tag.
