[PATCH] mmc: rtsx: fix possible circular locking dependency

[micky_ching]

From: Micky Ching <micky_ching@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

To avoid dead lock, we need make sure host->lock is always acquire
before pcr->lock. But in irq handler, we acquired pcr->lock in rtsx mfd
driver, and sd_isr_done_transfer() is called during pcr->lock already
acquired. Since in sd_isr_done_transfer() the only work we do is schdule
tasklet, the cmd_tasklet and data_tasklet never conflict, so it is safe
to remove spin_lock() here.
