Subject: [PATCH 1/2] firmware: dmi-sysfs: Don't remove dmi-sysfs "raw" file
 explicitly

Removing the dmi-sysfs module causes the following warning:

  # modprobe -r dmi_sysfs
  WARNING: CPU: 11 PID: 6785 at fs/sysfs/inode.c:325 sysfs_hash_and_remove+0xa9/0xb0()
  sysfs: can not remove 'raw', no directory

This is because putting the entry kobject, e.g., for
"/sys/firmware/dmi/entries/19-0", removes the directory and all its
contents.  By the time dmi_sysfs_entry_release() runs, the "raw" file
inside ".../19-0/" has already been removed.

Therefore, we don't need to remove the "raw" bin file at all in
dmi_sysfs_entry_release().
