platform/x86: hp-bioscfg: fix new_password_store() overwriting current_password

Browse source

current_password_store() and new_password_store() both call
store_password_instance() with is_current = true:

	static ssize_t new_password_store(...)
	{
		return store_password_instance(kobj, buf, count, true);
	}

so a write to new_password is routed to current_password instead, and
the new_password field is never written by either sysfs entry point.

Fix by passing false from new_password_store(), matching what the
is_current parameter is meant to select.
