As an alternative to loading bytes from the "data" blob when reading
firmware, let kernel read from an fd, so that the LSM can reason about
the origin of firmware contents during userspace on-demand loading.

+ Alternative loading (via file descriptor):
+ ==========================================
+ Instead of "loading", and "data" above, firmware can be loaded through
+ an open file descriptor as well, via the "fd" file:
+
+ Replacing steps 2 thorugh 6 above with the following userspace actions,
+ performs the same loading:
+ - open firmware image file (e.g. as fd 3).
+ - write fd (e.g. "3") to /sys/class/firmware/xxx/fd.
+
High level behavior (driver code):
