Subject: [PATCH v4 1/4] firmware: Move umh locking code into fw_load_from_user_helper()

From: Daniel Wagner <daniel.wagner@...-carit.de>

When we load the firmware directly we don't need to take the umh
lock. So move this part inside fw_load_from_user_helper which is only
available when CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is set.

This avoids a dependency on firmware_loading_timeout() even when
!CONFIG_FW_LOADER_UER_HELPER.

The usermodehelper locking code was added by b298d289c792 ("PM / Sleep:
Fix freezer failures due to racy usermodehelper_is_disabled()").
