[PATCH v3 1/3] Fix hibernation restore hang in freeze_processes

During restore, pm_notifier chain are called with
PM_RESTORE_PREPARE. The firmware_class driver handler
fw_pm_notify does not have a handler for this. As a result,
it keeps a reader on the kmod.c umhelper_sem. During
freeze_processes, the call to __usermodehelper_disable tries to
take a write lock on this semaphore and hangs waiting.
