Thinking about this some more, does it make sense to have a
mmc_get_card() above and then remove the one from __mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd()?
The mmc_blk_ioctl_multi_cmd() needs to call mmc_get_card() before
calling __mmc_blk_ioctl_cmd() and so currently we are calling
mmc_get_card() twice in the case of mmc_blk_ioctl_multi_cmd() which
seems unnecessary.

Cheers
Jon
