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

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 f2f4cd48dd4ab3399f4316ed3907771262c8762f but the
firmware is mandatory.
