Perhaps it's more clear if you grab the lock for the first section,
release it after and then regrab it for the second section. A bit less
efficient, but I don't think that will be a problem in practice.

The else section got a bit small here with that code removed. Perhaps
we should instead have:

	if (host->bus_ops != NULL) {
		mmc_bus_put(host);
		goto out;
	}

With some adjusted comments to make the flow clear.
