CHROMIUM: config: Disable firmware userspace helper
CrOS recently updated to udev-225, which removed userspace firmware
loading support. The r8169 driver tries to load the firmware, however
CrOS images don't ship with r8169 firmware. When the in-kernel firmware
loading fails the driver falls back to the user-helper, which results in
a boot delay of ~60s (observed on lumpy). Disable the userspace helper
to fail faster.
BUG=chromium:682578
TEST=build and and install on lumpy
connect network cable to Ethernet port
boot lumpy (without USB to Ethernet adapter)
wait 10s
ifconfig eth0
=> eth0 got an IP address
