Subject: [PATCH -next] Input: i8042 - Fix pagefault caused by i8042_dmi_laptop_table

(This patch fixes bug of commit 1c49cd1bbb6e41e97079d389e86063ba5de825ed
 titled "Input: i8042 - bypass AUX IRQ delivery test on laptops")

When dmi_platform_init is called, the table i8042_dmi_laptop_table[] will
be checked. Because the end of this table is not "NULL", dmi_check_system
will lead to pagefault and oops will be happened.

In fact I got following oops on boot:
Call Trace:

  [<ffffffff8105b29b>] ? exit_ptrace+0x94/0x114

I confirmed this patch fix this problem.
