mmc_retune_hold() and mmc_retune_release() are designed to go around a group
of commands, but re-tuning can still be done before the first command. i.e.

	mmc_retune_hold
	<re-tune can happen here>
	cmd A
	<re-tune not allowed here>
	cmd B
	<re-tune not allowed here>
	cmd C
	mmc_retune_release

That is the same in the retry case:

	mmc_retune_hold
	<re-tune can happen here>
	cmd A
	<re-tune not allowed here>
	retry cmd A
	<re-tune not allowed here>
	cmd B
	<re-tune not allowed here>
	cmd C
	mmc_retune_release

The retry mechanism provided by mmc_wait_for_cmd() and friends really only
makes sense for simple commands.  In other cases, like this, we need to
consider what state the card is in.  For __mmc_switch we need to consider
whether the card is busy or whether a timing change been made.

Or restore the previously known good result?
