firmware loader: let direct loading back on 'firmware_buf'
Firstly 'firmware_buf' is introduced to make all loading requests to share one firmware kernel buffer, so firmware_buf should be used in direct loading for saving memory and speedup firmware loading. Secondly, the commit below abb139e(firmware:teach the kernel to load firmware files directly from the filesystem) introduces direct loading for fixing udev regression, but it bypasses the firmware cache meachnism, so this patch enables caching firmware for direct loading case since it is still needed to solve drivers' dependency during system resume.
