[RFC 2/5] iwlwifi: fix request_module() use

[Luis R. Rodriguez]

The return value of request_module() being 0 does not mean that the
driver which was requested has loaded. To properly check that the driver
was loaded each driver can use internal mechanisms to vet the driver is
now present. The helper try_then_request_module() was added to help with
this, allowing drivers to specify their own validation as the first
argument.

On iwlwifi the use case is a bit more complicated given that the value
we need to check for is protected with a mutex later used on the
module_init() of the module we are asking for. If we were to lock and
request_module() we'd deadlock. iwlwifi needs its own wrapper then so
it can handle its special locking requirements.
