Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Bluetooth: btrtl: Skip initialization if firmware is already loaded

Realtek bluetooth may not work after reboot:
[   12.446130] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: rtl: unknown IC info, lmp subver a99e, hci rev 826c, hci ver 0008

The power is not cut during system reboot, so the firmware is kept in
Bluetooth controller.

Realtek bluetooth doesn't have the ability to check firmware loading
status. but the version queried by HCI_OP_READ_LOCAL_VERSION will be
different if firmware is already loaded. Realtek's own fork, rtk_btusb
also use this method to detect the loading status.

So let's assume the firmware is already loaded when we can't find
matching IC info.
