extra_checks is only used in a few places. It also depends on
a non-standard DEBUG define one needs to add to the source file. The
overhead of removing it should be minimal (we already use pure
might_sleep() in the code anyway) so drop it.

This patch triggers (exposes) the following backtrace.

When getting GPIO value with a spinlock taken the driver *must* use
the non-sleeping variant of this function: gpiod_get_value(). If the
underlying driver can sleep then the developer seriously borked. The
API contract has always been this way so I wouldn't treat it as a
regression.


I said

"This patch triggers (exposes) the following backtrace"

and

"It isn't really surprising since sdhci_check_ro() calls the gpio code under
 spin_lock_irqsave().
"

I didn't (intend to) claim that this would be a regression. It was
supposed to be a report. My apologies if it came along the wrong way.
