Subject: [PATCH] firmware loader: Fix the race FW_STATUS_DONE is followed
 by class_timeout


There is a race condition as below when calling request_firmware():

CPU1					CPU2
write 0 > loading
mutex_lock(&fw_lock);
...
set_bit FW_STATUS_DONE                  class_timeout is coming
					set_bit FW_STATUS_ABORT
complete_all &completion
...
mutex_unlock(&fw_lock)

In this time, the bit FW_STATUS_DONE and FW_STATUS_ABORT are set,
and request_firmware() will return failure due to condition in
_request_firmware_load():

	if (!buf->size || test_bit(FW_STATUS_ABORT, &buf->status))
		retval = -ENOENT;

But from the above scenerio, it should be a succcessful requesting.
So we need judge if the FW_STATUS_DONE is set before calling abort
in timeout function firmware_class_timeout().
