firewire: Fix for broken configrom updates in quick succession

Current implementation of ohci_set_config_rom() uses a deferred
bus reset via fw_schedule_bus_reset(). If clients add multiple
unit descriptors to the config_rom in quick succession, the
deferred bus reset may not have fired before succeeding update
requests have come in. This can lead to an incorrect partial
update of the config_rom for both addition and removal of
config_rom descriptors, as the ohci_set_config_rom() routine
will return -EBUSY if a previous pending update has not been
completed yet; the requested update just gets dropped on the floor.

This patch recognizes that the "in-flight" update can be modified
until it has been processed by the bus-reset, and the locking
in the bus_reset_tasklet ensures that the update is done atomically
with respect to modifications made by ohci_set_config_rom(). The
-EBUSY error case is simply removed.

[Stefan R:  The bug always existed at least theoretically.  But it
became easy to trigger since 2.6.36 commit 02d37bed188c "firewire: core:
integrate software-forced bus resets with bus management" which
introduced long mandatory delays between janitorial bus resets.]
