cover mmc: speed up secure erase on ISSI IS22TF128G eMMC

Secure erasing a 33.5GiB partition on an ISSI IS22TF128G eMMC (NXP i.MX8, sdhci-esdhc-imx) takes 5-7 hours, because the request is split into roughly 10000 max_discard sized secure erase commands, each with a large fixed overhead.

Patch 1 adds the card to MMC_QUIRK_FIXED_SECURE_ERASE_TRIM_TIME, which brings the same operation down to about 6 minutes. It is tagged for stable.

Patch 2 is hardening for the quirk: with qty no longer bound by max_busy_timeout, the 32-bit erase timeout calculation can overflow for cards with large ERASE_TIMEOUT_MULT * SEC_ERASE_MULT. None of the currently quirked cards reach that limit (the ISSI card is at about half of it), so it is not tagged for stable.

PATCH 1/2 mmc: add ISSI IS22TF128G to fixed secure erase time quirk

The ISSI IS22TF128G eMMC (CID manfid 0x9d, oemid 0x0101, name "IS128G") reports SECURE_REMOVAL_TYPE 0x01 (overwrite, then erase) and has a large per-command overhead for secure erase. Secure erasing a 33.5GiB partition with blkdiscard -s on an NXP i.MX8 (sdhci-esdhc-imx, HS400ES) is split into max_discard sized requests of about 3.5MiB, i.e. roughly 10000 secure erase commands, which takes 5-7 hours once ~27GiB of the partition have been written.

Since the per-command overhead dominates, apply MMC_QUIRK_FIXED_SECURE_ERASE_TRIM_TIME so secure erase requests are no longer limited by max_discard. With the quirk, secure erasing the same partition with ~27GiB written takes about 6 minutes.

Card parameters: ERASE_GROUP_DEF 0x01, HC_ERASE_GRP_SIZE 0x01 (512KiB), ERASE_TIMEOUT_MULT 0x12, SEC_ERASE_MULT 0x64, SEC_TRIM_MULT 0x64.

PATCH 2/2 mmc: core: saturate erase timeout instead of overflowing

In reply to Michael Haener

With MMC_QUIRK_FIXED_SECURE_ERASE_TRIM_TIME, secure erase/trim requests are no longer limited by max_discard, so mmc_mmc_erase_timeout() can be called with a qty of several thousand erase groups. The timeout is then computed as erase_timeout * sec_erase_mult * qty in 32-bit arithmetic.

With 512KiB erase groups the block layer limits a request to about 4096 groups, so the product overflows once ERASE_TIMEOUT_MULT * SEC_ERASE_MULT exceeds about 3496. The wrapped value can be much shorter than the real erase time, making the busy polling give up early with -ETIMEDOUT. No card in the quirk list is known to reach that limit today.

Use check_mul_overflow() and saturate at UINT_MAX.
