Subject: [PATCH] mmc: core: Fix system shutdown hang in mmc_bus_shutdown

During system shutdown, mmc_bus_shutdown() calls __mmc_stop_host() which
uses cancel_delayed_work_sync(). This can block indefinitely if the work
queue is stuck, causing the system to hang during shutdown.

This patch introduces a new function __mmc_stop_host_no_sync() that skips
the synchronous work cancellation, preventing potential shutdown hangs.
The function is used in mmc_bus_shutdown() where blocking is not
acceptable during system shutdown.

Changes:
- Add __mmc_stop_host_no_sync() function that avoids cancel_delayed_work_sync()
- Update mmc_bus_shutdown() to use the new non-blocking function
- Keep the original __mmc_stop_host() unchanged for normal operation

This ensures graceful system shutdown while maintaining existing
functionality for regular MMC host operations.
