mmc: dw_mmc: Add locking to the CTO timer
This attempts to instill a bit of paranoia to the code dealing with the CTO timer. It's believed that this will make the CTO timer more robust in the case that we're having very long interrupt latencies. Note that I originally thought that perhaps this patch was being overly paranoid and wasn't really needed, but then while I was running mmc_test on an rk3399 board I saw one instance of the message: dwmmc_rockchip fe320000.dwmmc: Unexpected interrupt latency I had debug prints in the CTO timer code and I found that it was running CMD 13 at the time. ...so even though this patch seems like it might be overly paranoid, maybe it really isn't? Presumably the bad interrupt latency experienced was due to the fact that I had serial console enabled as serial console is typically where I place blame when I see absurdly large interrupt latencies. In this particular case there was an (unrelated) printout to the serial console just before I saw the "Unexpected interrupt latency" printout. ...and actually, I managed to even reproduce the problems by running "iw mlan0 scan > /dev/null" while mmc_test was running. That not only does a bunch of PCIe traffic but it also (on my system) outputs some SELinux log spam.
