mmc: sdio: Use mmc_pre_req() / mmc_post_req()
SDHCI changed from using a tasklet to finish requests, to using an IRQ thread i.e. commit c07a48c2 ("mmc: sdhci: Remove finish_tasklet"). Because this increased the latency to complete requests, a preparatory change was made to complete the request from the IRQ handler if possible i.e. commit 19d2f695 ("mmc: sdhci: Call mmc_request_done() from IRQ handler if possible"). That alleviated the situation for MMC block devices because the MMC block driver makes use of mmc_pre_req() and mmc_post_req() so that successful requests are completed in the IRQ handler and any DMA unmapping is handled separately in mmc_post_req(). However SDIO was still affected, and an example has been reported with up to 20% degradation in performance. Looking at SDIO I/O helper functions, sdio_io_rw_ext_helper() appeared to be a possible candidate for making use of asynchronous requests within its I/O loops, but analysis revealed that these loops almost never iterate more than once, so the complexity of the change would not be warrented. Instead, mmc_pre_req() and mmc_post_req() are added before and after I/O submission (mmc_wait_for_req) in mmc_io_rw_extended(). This still has the potential benefit of reducing the duration of interrupt handlers, as well as addressing the latency issue for SDHCI. It also seems a more reasonable solution than forcing drivers to do everything in the IRQ handler.
