[Lucid] SRU: Allow mmc cards to be used with unsafe resume

SRU Justification:

Impact: On suspend, mmc cards are ejected on suspend and rediscovered at
resume. There seems to be a bug in that in Lucid as a mounted mmc card
causes the suspend to hang. Also ejecting and rediscovering is actually
annoying if the card contains extensions to the home directory or a root
filesystem.

Fix: This is not a real fix, but a workaround. In the Lucid code there is
a compile time only option to allow the mmc/sd card to be mounted and just
get reused on resume. Contrary to the unsafe title there arctually is some
safeguarding code to check the cards id before blindly using it.
The following patch leaves the default as it is now, but allows users to
change the mode with a boot parameter or by writing into the modules parameter
in sysfs.

Testcase: Suspend with mounted SD card hangs on its way down. With removable=0
it will go down and come up without apparent problems.

Subject: [PATCH] mmc: add module parameter to set whether cards are assumed removable

Some people run general-purpose distribution kernels on netbooks with
a card that is physically non-removable or logically non-removable
(e.g. used for /home) and cannot be cleanly unmounted during suspend.
Add a module parameter to set whether cards are assumed removable or
non-removable, with the default set by CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME.

In general, it is not possible to tell whether a card present in an MMC
slot after resume is the same that was there before suspend.  So there are
two possible behaviours, each of which will cause data loss in some cases:

CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=n (default): Cards are assumed to be removed
during suspend.  Any filesystem on them must be unmounted before suspend;
otherwise, buffered writes will be lost.

CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME=y: Cards are assumed to remain present during
suspend.  They must not be swapped during suspend; otherwise, buffered
writes will be flushed to the wrong card.

Currently the choice is made at compile time and this allows that to be
overridden at module load time.
