Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Check for serial key in dmi_name_in_vendors

Add serial key as a field to check for in dmi_name_in_vendors.

From: Alok N Kataria <akataria@...are.com>

In some user configured cases, VMware may choose not to put a VMware specific
DMI string, but the serial key is always there and is VMware specific.
Add that too to check for in the dmi_name_in_vendors function.
