firmware loader: simplify pages ownership transfer
This patch doesn't transfer ownership of pages' buffer to the instance of firmware until the firmware loading is completed, which will simplify firmware_loading_store a lot, so help to introduce the following cache_firmware and uncache_firmware mechanism during system suspend-resume cycle. In fact, this patch fixes one bug: if writing data into firmware loader device is bypassed between writting 1 and 0 to 'loading', OOPS will be triggered without the patch. Also handle the vmap failure case, and add some comments to make code more readable.
