[PATCH V2] rtl8192cu: Fix WARNING on suspend/resume

[Larry Finger]

A recent LKML thread (http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1112.3/00965.html)
discusses warnings that occur during a suspend/resume cycle. The driver
attempts to read the firmware file before userspace is ready, leading to the
following warning:

WARNING: at drivers/base/firmware_class.c:537 _request_firmware+0x3f6/0x420()

For rtl8192cu, the problem is fixed by storing the firmware in a global buffer
rather than one allocated per device. The usage count is increased when
suspending and decreased when resuming. This way, the firmware is retained
through a suspend/resume cycle, and does not have to be reread.

This patch should fix the bug reported in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771002.

Note: This patch also touches rtl8192ce as the "firmware" loaded message
is now printed in the wrong place.

V2 - revised to avoid warning noted by Daniel Halperin.

John,

As I missed the V3.2 cutoff, this can be given normal -next processing.

Sorry for any problems that were caused.
