Fix smatch warning - go7007_loader_probe() warn: passing freed memory 'fw'

The 'fw' pointer is released using release_firmware(fw) and then being used
again in another request_firmware() call without being reassigned to a new
memory allocation. To resolve it, use separate variables for each request.

Hmm, I don't get this smatch warning. And it doesn't appear to be an actual
bug either, so that warning would be a false positive.

I wonder if you tested with an older smatch version?

Regards,
