Subject: [PATCH] firmware_loader: Use init_utsname()->release

Instead of using UTS_RELEASE, use init_utsname()->release, which means
that we don't need to rebuild the code just for the git head commit
changing.

Since UTS_RELEASE is used for fw_path[] and this points to const data,
append init_utsname()->release dynamically to an intermediate string.

The check for appending uts release is if the string in fw_path[] ends
in '/'. Since fw_path[] may include a path from the kernel command line
in fw_path_para, and it would be valid for this string to end in '/',
check for fw_path_para when appending uts release.

Note: As mentioned by Masahiro in [0], when CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y it
could be possible for a driver to be built as a module with a different
kernel baseline and so use a different UTS_RELEASE from the baseline. So
now using init_utsname()->release could lead to a change in behaviour
in this driver. However, considering the nature of this driver and how it
would not make sense to build as module against a different tree, this
change should be ok.
