On QCOM UFSHC V6 in MCQ mode, a race condition exists where simultaneous
data and hibernate commands can cause data commands to be dropped when
the Auto-Hibernate Idle Timer (AHIT) is near expiration.

To mitigate this, AHIT is disabled before updating the SQ tail pointer,
and re-enabled only when no active commands remain. This prevents
conflicting command sequences from reaching the UniPro layer during
critical timing windows.

To support this:
- Introduce a new vendor operation `compl_command` to allow vendors to
handle command completion in a customized manner.
- Update the argument list for the existing `setup_xfer_req` vendor
operation to align with the updated UFS core interface.
- Modify the Exynos-specific `setup_xfer_req` implementation to match
the new interface and support the AHIT handling logic.

Yikes. Please disable AHIT entirely or disable/enable AHIT from inside
the runtime power management callbacks rather than inventing a new
mechanism for tracking whether any commands are outstanding.

What will happen if hba->vops->setup_xfer_req == NULL? Will the above
code trigger a kernel crash?

Yikes. New unconditional indirect function calls in the hot path are not
acceptable because these have a negative performance impact.

Same comment here.

I'm about to remove lrbp->cmd so please don't introduce any new users of
this structure member.
