[PATCH v3 5/5] misc: fw_loader: implement request_firmware_size() OP

It might be useful to get the firmware size before reading it to allocate
the correct size. This is needed for case where the firmware size change
across different firmware version and is not always the same. In such case
the only way to handle this scenario is to allocate a big-enough buffer to
read the firmware.
To better handle this, introduce the request_firmware_size() OP to get the
firmware size before reading it. This way proper buffer can be allocated
and dynamic firmware size can be better supported.
Both FS and FIP lodaer are updated to handle the new .get_size() handler.
