mmc: core: Fix null pointer dereference due to illegal mmc request

Fix a race condition that can lead to null pointer dereference
while the MMC transfers are going on.

1) mmc_request_done() -> mmc_wait_for_data_done ->
	step1: update is_done_rcv
	step2: wake_up sleeping thread (mmcqd) waiting for is_done_rcv

2) mmcqd -> mmc_wait_for_data_req_done
	step4: wait for is_done_rcv or is_new_req
	step5: is_new_req set from block layer context and mmcqd
	       is woken up
	step6: let's say step1 is done, so complete the current request
	step7: fetch new request and issue to host layer
	step8: fetch one more request and wait for previous request to
	       complete

In the above execution contexts, if step4-step8 happens between step1 and
step2 a null pointer dereference is observed -
