Take advantage of the new kernel symbol namespacing functionality, and
export the fw_fallback_config symbol only to a new private firmware loader
namespace. This would prevent misuses from other drivers and makes it clear
the goal is to keep this private to the firmware loader only.
It should also make it clearer for folks git grep'ing for users of
the symbol that this exported symbol is private, and prevent future
accidental removals of the exported symbol.

Christoph's patch removed two unsused exported symbols, however, one
symbol is used by the firmware_loader itself. If CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m so
the firmware_loader is modular but CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y we fail
the build at mostpost.
ERROR: modpost: "fw_fallback_config" [drivers/base/firmware_loader/firmware_class.ko] undefined!
This happens because the variable fw_fallback_config is built into the
kernel if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y always, so we need to grant
access to the firmware loader module by exporting it.
Revert only one hunk from his patch.

Neither fw_fallback_config nor firmware_config_table are used by modules.

In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to
validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This
function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as
minimum and maximum allowed value.
On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some
readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned
to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced.
The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range
boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1,
int_max=INT_MAX in different source files:
$ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l
248
Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some
macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them
instead of creating a local one for every object file.

The whole code of fallback_table.c is surrounded by #ifdef of
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER.
Move the CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER switch to Makefile so that
it is not compiled at all when this CONFIG option is disabled.
I also removed the confusing comment, "Module or buit-in [sic]".
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is a boolean option.
(If it were a module, CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_MODULE would
be defined instead.)

You currently need four different kernel builds to test the firmware
API fully. By adding a proc knob to force disable the fallback mechanism
completely we are able to reduce the amount of kernels you need built
to test the firmware API down to two.

Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the
firmware API completely:
0)
CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
1)
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
2)
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y
o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y
3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have
no current tests for this.
We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making
fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that
disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking
the proc value at boot time.

This will make it much easier to manage as we manage to
keep trimming componnents down into their own files to more
easily manage and maintain this codebase.
