blk_init_allocated_queue() allocates 1 request for flush and 4 requests
for a memory pool.  The memory pool requests only get used under memory
pressure.  That is why the error doesn't come up straight away.

Subject: [PATCH] mmc: block: Fix incorrectly initialized requests

mmc_init_request() depends on card->bouncesz so it must be calculated
before blk_init_allocated_queue() starts allocating requests.

Reported-by: Seraphime Kirkovski <kirkseraph@xxxxxxxxx>
Fixes: 304419d8a7e92 ("mmc: core: Allocate per-request data using the block layer core")
Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx>
