[PATCH 1/2] firmware, fix request_firmware_nowait() freeze with no uevent

[Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com>]

If request_firmware_nowait() is called with uevent == NULL, the firmware
completion is never marked complete resulting in a hang in the process.

If uevent is undefined, that means we're not waiting on anything and the
process should just clean up and complete.  While we're at it, add a
debug dev_dbg() to indicate that the FW has not been found.
