There could be following scenario where there is a ongoing reboot
is going from processA which tries to call all the reboot notifier
callback and one of them is firmware reboot call which tries to
abort all the ongoing firmware userspace request under fw_lock but
there could be another processB which tries to do request firmware,
which came just after abort done from ProcessA and ask for userspace
to load the firmware and this can stop the ongoing reboot ProcessA
to stall for next 60s(default timeout) which may not be expected
behaviour everyone like to see, instead we should abort any firmware
load request which came once firmware knows about the reboot through
notification.
