always enable FW_LOADER unless EMBEDDED=y
James Bottomley recently discovered that we have {request,release}_firmware() dummies for the case of the actual functions not being available and has a fix for the bug that was actually causing build errors for built-in users with CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m. But now missing selects on FW_LOADER are no longer visible at compile-time at all and can become runtime problems. FW_LOADER is infrastructure with relatively small codesize we can safely enable for everyone, and only for people who really need small kernels (and can be expected to know what they are doing) it matters being able to disable it. This patch therefore always sets FW_LOADER=y and allows users only to disable it with EMBEDDED=y. As a bonus, we can then get rid of all "select FW_LOADER" plus the due to it required "depends on HOTPLUG" which removes some complexity from our Kconfig files.
