Subject: [PATCH v2] 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 that 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 it as an external module against a different
tree, this change should not have any effect on users.

Changes in v2:
- moved note into commit log and tweaked slightly
- add Luis' RB tags, thanks

Also verified against fw loader selftest - it seems to show no regression
from baseline, however the baeline sometimes hangs (and also does with
this patch).
