bnx2: don't request firmware when there's no userspace.

Browse source

The firmware is cached during the first successful call to open() and
released once the network device is unregistered. The driver uses the
cached firmware between open() and unregister_netdev().

It's similar to 953a12cc28 but the
firmware is mandatory.
