Performing MMC block IO with simultaneous STR can lead to a deadlock: the mmc_pm_notify() function claims the host and then calls bus .remove() method, which lands in mmc_blk_remove(), which calls mmc_blk_remove_req() then it goes to -> mmc_cleanup_queue() -> kthread_stop(), which waits for the mmc-block thread to stop. If the mmc-block thread at that time is processing block requests, it will also try to claim the host in mmc_blk_issue_rq() and block there. This patch fixes the problem by calling .remove() before claiming the host.
