This drastically reduces the rate at which the MMC_SEND_STATUS cmd polls
for completion of the MMC Erase operation. The patch does this by adding
a backoff sleep that starts by sleeping for short intervals (128-256us),
and ramps up to sleeping for 32-64ms.
Even on very quickly completing erase operations, the loop iterates a few
times, so not too much extra latency is added to these commands.
For long running discard operarations, like a full-device secure discard,
this change drops the interrupt rates on my single-core NXP I.MX6UL from
45000/s to about 20/s, and greatly improves system responsiveness.
