Subject: Fix longstanding "error: storage size of '__mod_dmi_device_table' isn't known"

From: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com>

commit 40413dcb7b273bda681dca38e6ff0bbb3728ef11 upstream.

gcc 3.4.6 doesn't like MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE(dmi, x) expansion enough to
error out.  Shut it up in a most simple way.
