ASoC: SOF: loader: release_firmware() on load failure to avoid batching

[ Upstream commit 8a8e1813ffc35111fc0b6db49968ceb0e1615ced ]

Invoke release_firmware() when the firmware fails to boot in
sof_probe_continue().

The request_firmware() framework must be informed of failures in
sof_probe_continue() otherwise its internal "batching"
feature (different from caching) cached the firmware image
forever. Attempts to correct the file in /lib/firmware/ were then
silently and confusingly ignored until the next reboot. Unloading the
drivers did not help because from their disconnected perspective the
firmware had failed so there was nothing to release.

Also leverage the new snd_sof_fw_unload() function to simplify the
snd_sof_device_remove() function.
