platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: Replace global list with single item

Browse source

There can only exist a single instance of the dell-smbios-wmi driver
at the same time because of naming conflicts with the character
device ("wmi/dell-smbios"). Having a global list for all instances
thus makes no sense.

Replace the global list with a single item used by the character
device. This simplifies the driver and allows us to mark it as
being multi-instance safe.
