Upgrade from old image always requires squashfs mount to get the next image FW binary. This can be avoided if we put FW binary under platform directory which is easily accessible after installation: ``` admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa admin@r-spider-05:~$ ls -al /tmp/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534-fs/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 66 Feb 8 17:57 /tmp/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534-fs/etc/mlnx/fw-SPC.mfa -> /host/image-fw-new-loc.0-dirty-20230208.193534/platform/fw-SPC.mfa ``` Signed-off-by: Stepan Blyschak <stepanb@nvidia.com>

Why I did it
202211 and above uses different squashfs compression type that 201911 kernel can not handle. Therefore, we avoid mounting squashfs altogether with this change.
