firmware_class: Rework usermodehelper check
Instead of two functions, read_lock_usermodehelper() and usermodehelper_is_disabled(), used in combination, introduce usermodehelper_read_trylock() that will only return with umhelper_sem held if usermodehelper_disabled is unset (and will return -EAGAIN otherwise) and make _request_firmware() use it. Rename read_unlock_usermodehelper() to usermodehelper_read_unlock() to follow the naming convention of the new function. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
