Subject: [PATCH 2/3] firmware: Avoid deadlock of usermodehelper lock at shutdown

When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the
usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable().  This might be blocked
when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by
some reason.

In this patch, the firmware class driver registers a reboot notifier
so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs.  Also enable a flag for
avoiding the call of usermodehelper after the reboot/shutdown starts.
