[PATCH V3 5/7] mmc: queue work on any cpu

[Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>]

mmc uses workqueues for running mmc_rescan(). There is no real dependency of
scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which isn't
idle to save on power.

By idle cpu (from scheduler's perspective) we mean:
- Current task is idle task
- nr_running == 0
- wake_list is empty

This patch replaces the queue_delayed_work() with
queue_delayed_work_on_any_cpu() siblings.

This routine would look for the closest (via scheduling domains) non-idle cpu
(non-idle from schedulers perspective). If the current cpu is not idle or all
cpus are idle, work will be scheduled on local cpu.
