Ping-Ke Shih 4dfde294b9 rtlwifi: rise completion at the last step of firmware callback
request_firmware_nowait() which schedules another work is used to load
firmware when USB is probing. If USB is unplugged before running the
firmware work, it goes disconnect ops, and then causes use-after-free.
Though we wait for completion of firmware work before freeing the hw,
firmware callback rises completion too early. So I move it to the
last step.

usb 5-1: Direct firmware load for rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin failed with error -2
rtlwifi: Loading alternative firmware rtlwifi/rtl8192cufw.bin
rtlwifi: Selected firmware is not available

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
