Hi Chris Ball & Greg KH,

This patch can fix the mmc deadlock when suspen the mmc devices.

when mmc_pm_notify to do the host->bus_ops->remove, there is deadlock,
because it was locked at mmc_claim_host, so it modify the mmc_claim_host
after the host->bus_ops->remove.
the problem can reproduce at lots of the emmc/sd devices when create
multi partitions,and I have tested this modify at lots of the platform.

Can this patch fixed?
