ps3: Replace direct file operations by callback

Currently the FLASH database is updated by the kernel using file operations,
meant for userspace only. While this works for us because copy_{from,to}_user()
on powerpc can handle kernel pointers, this is unportable and a bad example.
Replace the file operations by callbacks, registered by the ps3flash driver.
