Subject: [PATCH] test_firmware: fix a memory leak with reqs buffer

Dan Carpenter spotted that test_fw_config->reqs will be leaked if trigger_batched_requests_store() is called two or more times. The same appears with trigger_batched_requests_async_store().

This bug wasn't trigger by the tests, but observed by Dan's visual inspection of the code.

The recommended workaround was to return -EBUSY if test_fw_config->reqs is already allocated.
