[PATCH v2] mmc: sdhci-of-dwcmshc: Prevent stale command interrupt handling

While working with the T-Head 1520 LicheePi4A SoC, certain conditions
arose that allowed me to reproduce a race issue in the sdhci code.

To reproduce the bug, you need to enable the sdio1 controller in the
device tree file
`arch/riscv/boot/dts/thead/th1520-lichee-module-4a.dtsi` as follows:

&sdio1 {
	bus-width = <4>;
	max-frequency = <100000000>;
	no-sd;
	no-mmc;
	broken-cd;
	cap-sd-highspeed;
	post-power-on-delay-ms = <50>;
	status = "okay";
	wakeup-source;
	keep-power-in-suspend;
};

When resetting the SoC using the reset button, the following messages
appear in the dmesg log:

[    8.164898] mmc2: Got command interrupt 0x00000001 even though no
command operation was in progress.

I also enabled some traces to better understand the problem:

Here's what happens: the __mmc_start_request function is called with
opcode 5. Since the power to the Wi-Fi card, which resides on this SDIO
bus, is initially off after the reset, an interrupt SDHCI_INT_TIMEOUT is
triggered. Immediately after that, a second interrupt SDHCI_INT_RESPONSE
is triggered. Depending on the exact timing, these conditions can
trigger the following race problem:

1) The sdhci_cmd_irq top half handles the command as an error. It sets
   host->cmd to NULL and host->pending_reset to true.
2) The sdhci_thread_irq bottom half is scheduled next and executes faster
   than the second interrupt handler for SDHCI_INT_RESPONSE. It clears
   host->pending_reset before the SDHCI_INT_RESPONSE handler runs.
3) The pending interrupt SDHCI_INT_RESPONSE handler gets called, triggering
   a code path that prints: "mmc2: Got command interrupt 0x00000001 even
   though no command operation was in progress."

To solve this issue, we need to clear pending interrupts when resetting
host->pending_reset. This ensures that after sdhci_threaded_irq restores
interrupts, there are no pending stale interrupts.

The behavior observed here is non-compliant with the SDHCI standard.
Place the code in the sdhci-of-dwcmshc driver to account for a
hardware-specific quirk instead of the core SDHCI code.

v2:
 - instead of modifying SDHCI core code, only modify th1520 specific
   reset
