firmware loader: let caching firmware piggyback on loading firmware
After starting caching firmware, there is still some time left before devices are suspended, during the period, request_firmware or its nowait version may still be triggered by the below situations to load firmware images which can't be cached during suspend/resume cycle. - new devices added - driver bind - or device open kind of things This patch utilizes the piggyback trick to cache firmware for this kind of situation: just increase the firmware buf's reference count and add the fw name entry into cache entry list after starting caching firmware and before syscore_suspend() is called.
