bes2600: drop kernel_write() persistence from factory cali save

Following the conversion of the factory-calibration READ path to
request_firmware() (earlier in this series), the factory-calibration
WRITE path in factory_section_write_file() was still using
filp_open(O_CREAT | O_TRUNC | O_RDWR) + kernel_write() to persist
updated calibration data back to FACTORY_PATH
(default /lib/firmware/bes2600/bes2600_factory.txt).

Writing to files under /lib/firmware/ from kernel code is a
standing upstream blocker for staging and for drivers/net/wireless/
submission generally:

 - filp_open()/kernel_write() bypass the firmware-class abstraction,
   the LSM framework, and user/group/mode enforcement that governs
   the firmware search paths. They have been repeatedly called out
   in staging-prep reviews.
 - The kernel runs with capabilities that userspace does not (CAP_
   DAC_OVERRIDE effectively); quietly rewriting firmware blobs that
   userspace owns is a surprise contract.
 - A module unload / reboot immediately after the write races the
   writeback and can leave a truncated calibration file on disk.

Remove factory_section_write_file() and its two call sites in
bes2600_wifi_cali_table_save(). The in-memory factory_save_p
remains authoritative for the duration of the session: the WSM
command handlers that triggered this path (power-cali-table,
freq-cali, efuse-flag, power-cali-flag) already update the live
struct factory_t, and reads served from file_buffer pick up the
rebuilt serialised form immediately. On the next probe the
firmware-class file is re-read read-only via request_firmware(),
as set up by the earlier patch.

If cross-reboot persistence of runtime-updated calibration becomes
a requirement, the expected route is a userspace-visible dump
interface -- a read-only debugfs file exporting the serialised
blob, or an nl80211 vendor command -- that lets userspace copy the
values to a chosen location under its own privileges. Such a
facility can land as a follow-up without touching the core driver
write path again.
