While testing another patch, I noticed that fw_update will lock the
package database even if it's just downloading and not touching the
installed packages.
Currently we do _read_ the existing firmware as part of detecting what
we might need to download or upgrade without locking. I'm unsure if
that is an issue.
Comments, OK?
