Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] firmware: add usermode helper DECLARE_FW_LOADER_USER() annotation

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@...nel.org>

We need to ensure no one else adds *anything* that requests the
usermode helper without really meaning it, to police it we now have
an SmPL script but no formal annotation is present to help us ensure
the call has been validated.

Add a dummy DECLARE_FW_LOADER_USER() which we can use to annotate
validated calls and also clearly outline the documentation over where
the required usermode helper is documented.

All other future callers can be reported via 0-day by making use of the
Coccinelle SmPL patch.
