[PATCH] mmc: fix race condition between dma and omap_hsmmc callback

This patch addresses the possible race condition between the dma
callback and hsmmc callback.
All the 'post data transfer' cleanup activities are now done in the
MMC TC handler.
The schedule_timeout in omap_hsmmc_start_dma_transfer is hence not
needed (which, incidentally,
was also throwing a "schedule while atomic" warning when executed).
Tested on OMAP4430 SDP.
