firmware_class: Rework usermodehelper check

Instead of two functions, read_lock_usermodehelper() and
usermodehelper_is_disabled(), used in combination, introduce
usermodehelper_read_trylock() that will only return with umhelper_sem
held if usermodehelper_disabled is unset (and will return -EAGAIN
otherwise) and make _request_firmware() use it.

Rename read_unlock_usermodehelper() to
usermodehelper_read_unlock() to follow the naming convention of the
new function.
