[PATCH v2 1/3] dell_rbu: Don't fallback to userhelper

[Mario Limonciello]

when loading firmware dell_rbu previously would allow a userspace
application to craft the payload after dell_rbu was loaded and
abuse the udev userspace API.

Instead require the payload to be crafted and placed in
/lib/firmware/dell_rbu ahead of time.

This adjusts dell_rbu to immediately load the firmware from
/lib/firmware/dell_rbu when "init" is passed into image_type using the
kernel helper.
