The whole code of fallback_table.c is surrounded by #ifdef of
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER.
Move the CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER switch to Makefile so that
it is not compiled at all when this CONFIG is turned off.
I also removed the confusing comment, "Module or buit-in [sic]".
CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is a boolean option.
(If it were a module, CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_MODULE would
be defined instead.)

Phew ... CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER is bool.
So no new modules. You had me scared for a bit.
The reason this was built-in was that we *need* this table for built-in
code which *can* request firmware *pre* module loading. The table thing
was designed to be built-in if the firmware interface was enabled in
any way.
Fortunately I don't see this regressing as CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER
is a bool. It is hard to enforce other than with careful review.

Just a random early spring cleaning note for the future:
Although we cannot rename the firmware module to something more
sensible, we could just make the old sysfs firmware loading interface
*its own module firmware_class* and move the non-sysfs code to its own
first citizen file.
