Subject: [PATCH] media: usb: go7007: Fix warning: passing freed memory 'fw'

Fix smatch warning - go7007_loader_probe() warn: passing freed memory 'fw'

The 'fw' pointer is released using release_firmware(fw) and then being used
again in another request_firmware() call without being reassigned to a new
memory allocation. To resolve it, use separate variables for each request.
