firmware, memmap: fix firmware_map_entry leak

When hot removing memory, a firmware_map_entry which has memory range of
the memory is released by release_firmware_map_entry().  If the entry is
allocated by bootmem, release_firmware_map_entry() adds the entry to
map_entires_bootmem list when firmware_map_find_entry() finds the entry
from map_entries list.  But firmware_map_find_entry never find the entry
sicne map_entires list does not have the entry.  So the entry just
leaks.

Here are steps of leaking firmware_map_entry:
firmware_map_remove()
-> firmware_map_find_entry()
   Find released entry from map_entries list
-> firmware_map_remove_entry()
   Delete the entry from map_entries list
-> remove_sysfs_fw_map_entry()
   ...
   -> release_firmware_map_entry()
      -> firmware_map_find_entry()
         Find the entry from map_entries list but the entry has been
         deleted from map_entries list. So the entry is not added
         to map_entries_bootmem. Thus the entry leaks

release_firmware_map_entry() should not call firmware_map_find_entry()
since releaed entry has been deleted from map_entries list.  So the
patch delete firmware_map_find_entry() from releae_firmware_map_entry()
