firmware_loader: Split sysfs support from fallback

In preparation for sharing the "loading" and "data" sysfs nodes with the
new firmware upload support, split out sysfs functionality from fallback.c
and fallback.h into sysfs.c and sysfs.h. This includes the firmware
class driver code that is associated with the sysfs files and the
fw_fallback_config support for the timeout sysfs node.

CONFIG_FW_LOADER_SYSFS is created and is selected by
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER in order to include sysfs.o in
firmware_class-objs.

This is mostly just a code reorganization. There are a few symbols that
change in scope, and these can be identified by looking at the header
file changes. A few white-space warnings from checkpatch are also
addressed in this patch.

firmware_loader: move firmware sysctl to its own files

Patch series "sysctl: 3rd set of kernel/sysctl cleanups", v2.

This is the third set of patches to help address cleaning the kitchen
seink in kernel/sysctl.c and to move sysctls away to where they are
actually implemented / used.

This patch (of 8):

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

So move the firmware configuration sysctl table to the only place where
it is used, and make it clear that if sysctls are disabled this is not
used.

firmware: Add new platform fallback mechanism and firmware_request_platform()

In some cases the platform's main firmware (e.g. the UEFI fw) may contain
an embedded copy of device firmware which needs to be (re)loaded into the
peripheral. Normally such firmware would be part of linux-firmware, but in
some cases this is not feasible, for 2 reasons:

1) The firmware is customized for a specific use-case of the chipset / use
with a specific hardware model, so we cannot have a single firmware file
for the chipset. E.g. touchscreen controller firmwares are compiled
specifically for the hardware model they are used with, as they are
calibrated for a specific model digitizer.

2) Despite repeated attempts we have failed to get permission to
redistribute the firmware. This is especially a problem with customized
firmwares, these get created by the chip vendor for a specific ODM and the
copyright may partially belong with the ODM, so the chip vendor cannot
give a blanket permission to distribute these.

This commit adds a new platform fallback mechanism to the firmware loader
which will try to lookup a device fw copy embedded in the platform's main
firmware if direct filesystem lookup fails.

Drivers which need such embedded fw copies can enable this fallback
mechanism by using the new firmware_request_platform() function.

Note that for now this is only supported on EFI platforms and even on
these platforms firmware_fallback_platform() only works if
CONFIG_EFI_EMBEDDED_FIRMWARE is enabled (this gets selected by drivers
which need this), in all other cases firmware_fallback_platform() simply
always returns -ENOENT.

3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have

We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making
fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that
disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking
