firmware: Avoid deadlock of usermodehelper lock at shutdown
When a system goes to reboot/shutdown, it tries to disable the usermode helper via usermodehelper_disable(). This might be blocked when a driver tries to load a firmware beforehand and it's stuck by some reason. For example, dell_rbu driver loads the firmware in non-hotplug mode and waits for user-space clearing the loading sysfs flag. If user-space doesn't clear the flag, it waits forever, thus blocks the reboot, too. As a workaround, in this patch, the firmware class driver registers a reboot notifier so that it can abort all pending f/w bufs before issuing usermodehelper_disable().
