Subject: [PATCH 2/3] firmware/dmi: Report DMI Bios release

Some vendors like HPe or Dell, encodes the release version of their BIOS
in the "System BIOS {Major|Minor} Release" fields of Type 0.

This information is useful to know which release of the bios is actually running.
It could be used for some quirks, debugging sessions or inventory tasks.

This patch extract these 2 fields in DMI_BIOS_MAJOR_RELEASE & DMI_BIOS_MINOR_RELEASE.

A typical output for a Dell system running the 65.27 bios is :

	[root@...00 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_release_major
	65
	[root@...00 ~]# cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/bios_release_minor
	27
	[root@...00 ~]#
