Thanks, I've queued the patch for 3.8.  I edited the commit message and
modified the patch: adding a check in the host driver to avoid any other
blind dereferences of cmd->mrq, and skipping the unnecessary assignment
to "err".  Here's the updated patch -- Qian, does it look okay to you?

- Chris.

Subject: [PATCH] mmc: core: If card was removed, don't wait for request to
 finish.

mmc_wait_for_req() calls __mmc_start_req().  If __mmc_start_req() detects
that the card's been removed, it will return -ENOMEDIUM and not wait for
the request to be finished.  In this way, it can reduce io_schedule once.

And if io_schedule times out and mmc_card_remove() fails, it will call
host->ops->request (sometimes this occurs by insmod and rmmod fast), then
will get through to msmsdcc_start_command_deferred() finally.  cmd->mrq
will be NULL -- it's created in mmc_start_request() -- and a NULL deref
of cmd->mrq->stop will result.

This was seen in msm_sdcc.c, which dereferenced cmd->mrq blindly; also
add a check to that host driver to stop this happening again in other
potential cases.
