[PATCH 2/4] mmc: sunxi: Lock fix

[David LanzendÃrfer]

1)	Adding a comment in order to clarify the choice of the locks within
	sunxi_mmc_handle_manual_stop

2)	As ææ has pointed out the wait_dma variable was not accessed within the spin lock
	block in sunxi_mmc_request and so (even if it should never happend) it would have
	theoretically been possible that some other function would access the variable
	at the same time as the function.
	This has been changed now and the function is using local variables outside the lock
	and copys the value over during the lock phase.
