firmware loader: fix races during loading firmware
This patch fixes two races in loading firmware: 1, FW_STATUS_DONE should be set before waking up the task waitting on _request_firmware_load, otherwise FW_STATUS_ABORT may be thought as DONE mistakenly. 2, Inside _request_firmware_load(), there is a small window between wait_for_completion() and mutex_lock(&fw_lock), and 'echo 1 > loading' still may happen during the period, so this patch checks FW_STATUS_DONE to prevent pages' buffer completed from being freed in firmware_loading_store.
