Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.
This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

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().

This is a first step in allowing people to by-pass udev for loading
device firmware. Current versions of udev will deadlock (causing us to
block for the 30 second timeout) under some circumstances if the
firmware is loaded as part of the module initialization path, and this
is causing problems for media drivers in particular.
The current patch hardcodes the firmware path that udev uses by default,
and will fall back to the legacy udev mode if the firmware cannot be
found there. We'd like to add support for both configuring the paths
and the fallback behaviour, but in the meantime this hopefully fixes the
immediate problem, while also giving us a way forward.

for caching firmware will make sure only one loading for same
firmware is alllowd at the same time.

The wmb() inside fw_load_abort is not necessary, since
complete() and wait_on_completion() has implied one pair
of memory barrier.
Also wmb() isn't a correct usage, so just remove it.

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.
