After commit 6827ca573c03 ("memstick: rtsx_usb_ms: Support runtime power management"), removing module rtsx_usb_ms will be stuck. The deadlock is caused by powering on and powering off at the same time, the former one is when memstick_check() is flushed, and the later is called by memstick_remove_host(). Soe let's skip allocating card to prevent this issue.
