platform/x86: dell-smbios-wmi: Fix chardev resource management

When unbinding the WMI driver while a userspace application has
an open file descriptor for the character device, a UAF occurs:

KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _copy_to_user from platform/x86/dell-smbios-wmi

The reason for this is that even after calling misc_deregister(),
userspace appications can still call read() and/or ioctl() on open
file descriptors associated with the already unregistered character
device. This causes a UAF by attempting to access the already freed
state container of the WMI driver.

Fix this by no longer storing the state container inside
filp->private_data. Instead retrieve the state container using
get_first_smbios_priv() and return -ENODEV if the state container
does not exist anymore.
