From: Rafał Miłecki <ra...@milecki.pl>

I found handling of FW_OPT_FALLBACK a bit complex. It was defined using
another option and their values were dependent on kernel config.

It was also non-trivial to follow the code. Some callers were using
FW_OPT_FALLBACK which was confusing since the _request_firmware function
was always checking for FW_OPT_USERHELPER (the same bit in a relevan
configuration).

With this patch FW_OPT_USERHELPER gets its own bit and is explicitly
checked in the _request_firmware which hopefully makes code easier to
understand.
