In a step to simplify the use of the lock, mmc_claim|release_host(), let's
change the SDIO IRQ thread to move away from using the abort-able claim
host method.

In the SDIO IRQ thread case, we can instead check the numbers of SDIO IRQs
that are currently claimed via host->sdio_irqs, as this field is protected
from updates unless the host is claimed. When host->sdio_irqs has become
zero, it means the SDIO func driver(s) has released the SDIO IRQ, then we
can bail out and stop running the SDIO IRQ thread.

Does that work?  It looks a like kthread_stop() will wait on the thread,
which is waiting to claim the host, which is claimed by the caller of
sdio_card_irq_put() which called kthread_stop() i.e. deadlock.

Adrian, you are right and thanks for your analyze!

Maybe it's better that I first continue with my other series,
converting the kthread to a work/work-queue. As that makes it easier
to move away from using the abort-able claim host API.

Kind regards
