r8169: keep firmware in memory.
The firmware agent is not available during resume. Loading the firmware
during open() (see eee3a96c6368f47df8df5bd4ed1843600652b337) is not
enough.
close() is run during resume through rtl8169_reset_task(), whence the
mildly natural release of firmware in the driver removal method instead.
It will help with http://bugs.debian.org/609538. It will not avoid
the 60 seconds delay when:
- there is no firmware
- the driver is loaded and the device is not up before a suspend/resume
