[PATCH v2 5/5] mmc: sdhci: calculate max_discard_to dynamically for SDHCI_QUIRK_DATA_TIMEOUT_USES_SDCLK

For host controllers using SDHCI_QUIRK_DATA_TIMEOUT_USES_SDCLK, since the card
clock is changed dynamically for different cards, it does not make sense
to use the maximum host clock to calculate max_discard_to which may lead
the max_discard_to to be much smaller than its capbility and affect the card
discard performance a lot.
e.g. the host clock is 200Mhz, but the card is working on 50Mhz. Then the
max_discard_to is only 1/4 of its real capbility.

In this patch, it uses the actual_clock to calculate the max_discard_to
dynamically as long as a new clock speed is set.

Tested with a high speed SDHC card shows:
Originally:
mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
mmc1: calculated max. discard sectors 49152 for timeout 1355 ms
Now:
mmc1: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
mmc1: calculated max. discard sectors 712704 for timeout 5422 ms
The max_discard_sectors will increase a lot which will also improve discard
performance a lot.

The one known limitation of this approach is that it does not cover the special
case for user changes the clock via sysfs, since the max_discard_to is only
initialised for one time during the mmc queue init.
