Subject: [PATCH v6] mmc: core: Add support for idle time BKOPS

Devices have various maintenance operations need to perform internally.
In order to reduce latencies during time critical operations like read
and write, it is better to execute maintenance operations in other
times - when the host is not being serviced. Such operations are called
Background operations (BKOPS).
The device notifies the status of the BKOPS need by updating BKOPS_STATUS
(EXT_CSD byte [246]).

According to the standard a host that supports BKOPS shall check the
status periodically and start background operations as needed, so that
the device has enough time for its maintenance operations.

This patch adds support for this periodic check of the BKOPS status.
Since foreground operations are of higher priority than background
operations the host will check the need for BKOPS when it is idle
(in runtime suspend), and in case of an incoming request the BKOPS
operation will be interrupted.

If the card raised an exception with need for urgent BKOPS (level 2/3)
a flag will be set to indicate MMC to start the BKOPS activity when it
becomes idle.

Since running the BKOPS too often can impact the eMMC endurance, the card
need for BKOPS is not checked on every runtime suspend. In order to estimate
when is the best time to check for BKOPS need the host will take into
account the card capacity and percentages of changed sectors in the card.
A future enhancement can be to check the card need for BKOPS only in case
of random activity.
