In the error path, _request_firmware sets
firmware_p to NULL rather than *firmware_p,
which leads to passing a freed firmware
struct to drivers when the firmware file
cannot be found. Fix this.

Broken by commit f8a4bd3456b988fc73b2c.

Both these structures have the same lifetime rules so instead of allocating
and managing them separately embed struct device into struct firmware_priv.
Also make sure to delete sysfs attributes ourselves instead of expecting
sysfs to clean up our mess.

There is no reason why we are using a template for binary attribute
and copying it into per-firmware data before registering. Using the
original works as well.

When we use request_firmware_nowait(), userspace may
not want to answer negatively right away when for
example it is answering from an initrd only, but
with request_firmware() it has to in order to not
delay the kernel boot until the request times out.

This allows userspace to differentiate between the
two in order to be able to reply negatively to async
requests only when all filesystems have been mounted
and have been checked for the requested firmware file.

The messages from _request_firmware() informing that firmware is
being requested or built-in firmware is going to be used are printed
at KERN_INFO, which produces lots of noise on systems with huge
numbers of AMD CPUs.  Reduce the level of these messages to
KERN_DEBUG to get rid of that noise.

fix memory leak introduced by the patch 6e03a201bbe:
firmware: speed up request_firmware()

1. vfree won't release pages there were allocated explicitly and mapped
using vmap. The memory has to be vunmap-ed and the pages needs
to be freed explicitly

2. page array is moved into the 'struct
firmware' so that we can free it from release_firmware()
and not only in fw_dev_release()

The fix doesn't break the firmware load speed.
