[PATCH] firmware: dmi_scan: Clarify dmi_save_extended_devices

[Jean Delvare]

Get rid of the arbitrary 5-byte pointer offset, it served no purpose
and made it harder to match the code with the SMBIOS specification.

Note: goes on top of the patch "Optimize dmi_save_extended_devices" I
sent yesterday. Also both patches collide with Jordan's current work,
but I will take care of merging everything, don't worry.
