[PATCH RESEND v3 3/3] platform/x86: dell-laptop: Do not fail when encountering unsupported batteries

[Armin Wolf]

If the battery hook encounters a unsupported battery, it will
return an error. This in turn will cause the battery driver to
automatically unregister the battery hook.

On machines with multiple batteries however, this will prevent
the battery hook from handling the primary battery, since it will
always get unregistered upon encountering one of the unsupported
batteries.

Fix this by simply ignoring unsupported batteries.
