firewire: core: fix Model_ID in modalias
The modalias string of devices that represent units on a FireWire node
did not show Module_ID entries within unit directories.  This was
because firewire-core searched only the root directory of the
configuration ROM for a Model_ID entry.
We now search first the root directory, then the unit directory.  IOW
honor a unit directory's Model_ID if present, otherwise fall back to the
root directory's model ID (if present).
Furthermore, apply the same change to Vendor_ID.  This had the same
issue but it was less apparent because most devices provide Vendor_ID
only in the root directory.
And finally, also use this strategy for the remaining two IDs in the
modalias, Specifier_ID and Version.  It does not actually make sense to
look for them elsewhere than in the unit directory because they are
mandatory there.  However, a uniform search order simplifies the
implementation and has no adverse affect in practice.
Side notes:
  - The older counterpart of this, nodemgr.c of ieee1394, looked for
    Vendor_ID first in the root directory, then in the unit directory,
    and for Model_ID only in the unit directory.
  - There is a single mainline driver which requires Vendor_ID and
    Model_ID --- the firedtv driver.  This one worked because FireDTVs
    provide Vendor_ID in the root directory and Model_ID identically in
    root directory and unit directory.
  - Apart from firedtv, there are currently no drivers known to me
    (including userspace drivers) that look at the Vendor_ID or Model_ID
    of the modalias.
