[PATCH] firmware_loader: Add reboot_in_progress for user helper path

[Mukesh Ojha]

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 be expected behaviour everyone like to see, instead
we should abort every request which came after once firmware
marks reboot notification.

      ProcessA                             ProcessB
