mmc: bcm2835-sdhost: use Host Software Queueing mechanism
See commit 511ce37 ("mmc: Add MMC host software queue support") Introduced in 5.8, this feature lets the block layer issue up to 2 pending requests to the MMC layer which in certain cases can improve throughput, but in the case of this driver can significantly reduce context switching when performing random reads. On bcm2837 with a performant class A1 card, context switches under FIO random 4k reads go from ~8800 per second to ~5800, with a reduction in hardIRQs per second from ~5800 to ~4000. There is no appreciable difference in throughput. For bcm2835, and for workloads other than random read, HSQ is a wash in terms of throughput and CPU load. So, use it by default.
