test_firmware: fix the memory leak of the allocated firmware buffer
The following kernel memory leak was noticed after running

Note that the size 1024 corresponds to the size of the test firmware
buffer. The actual number of the buffers leaked is around 70-110,
depending on the test run.
The cause of the leak is the following:
request_partial_firmware_into_buf() and request_firmware_into_buf()
provided firmware buffer isn't released on release_firmware(), we
have allocated it and we are responsible for deallocating it manually.
This is introduced in a number of context where previously only
release_firmware() was called, which was insufficient.
