Subject: [PATCH v2] Input: i8042 - disable KBD port on Razer Blade Stealth V2 (2017 model)

The late 2017 model of the Razer Blade Stealth has a built-in USB
keyboard, but for some reason the BIOS exposes an i8042 controller with
a connected KBD port. While this fake AT Keyboard device doesn't appear
to report any events, attempting to change the state of the caps lock
LED on it from on to off causes the entire system to hang.

So, introduce a quirk table for disabling keyboard probing by default,
i8042_dmi_nokbd_table, and add this specific model of Razer laptop to
that table.

Changes since v1:
- Correct model (should be V2, 2017)
