request_firmware_nowait() keeps the callback module pinned and holds
a device reference until the firmware work completes.

Callers still have no way to cancel or synchronize the queued callback
before tearing down their driver-private state.

Track scheduled async firmware work in an internal list and add
request_firmware_nowait_cancel(). The helper cancels work matching the
device, callback context and callback function. It cancels work that has
not started yet and waits for an already-running callback to return. If
the request has already completed, it is a no-op.

Keep the existing request_firmware_nowait() lifetime model manual. A
devres-managed variant can be layered on top separately if needed.
