[PATCH] firmware/dmi: Print product serial number if any

[Erwan Velu]

During the boot sequence, the kernel prints a string to identify the
running host. This is pretty handy to estimate the underlying hardware
in case of early crash.

This patch add the product serial number in this reporting if any got found,
or keep the current string. In a large fleet of servers, this
information could be useful to identify the host that generated a given trace.

Test ran with the following command : qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel arch/x86/boot/bzImage --enable-kvm -m 512  -serial stdio  -append 'console=ttyS0' -smbios type=1,serial=R90YT7WC

Prior the patch:
[    0.000000] DMI: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.0-1.fc36 04/01/2014

With the patch:
[    0.000000] DMI: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS 1.16.0-1.fc36 04/01/2014, SN: R90YT7WC
