Some race conditions were raised due to dell-smbios and its backends
not being ready by the time that a consumer would call one of the
exported methods.
To avoid this problem, guarantee that all initialization has been
done by linking them all together and running init for them all.
As part of this change the Kconfig needs to be adjusted so that
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM and CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_WMI are boolean
rather than modules.
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS is a visually selectable option again and both
CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_WMI and CONFIG_DELL_SMBIOS_SMM are optional.

WSMT is as an attestation to the OS that the platform won't
modify memory outside of pre-defined areas.
If a platform has WSMT enabled in BIOS setup, SMM calls through
dcdbas will fail. The only way to access platform data in these
instances is through the WMI SMBIOS calling interface.

This splits up the dell-smbios driver into two drivers:
* dell-smbios
* dell-smbios-smm
dell-smbios can operate with multiple different dispatcher drivers to
perform SMBIOS operations.
Also modify the interface that dell-laptop and dell-wmi use align to this
model more closely. Rather than a single global buffer being allocated
for all drivers, each driver will allocate and be responsible for it's own
buffer. The pointer will be passed to the calling function and each
dispatcher driver will then internally copy it to the proper location to
perform it's call.
Add defines for calls used by these methods in the dell-smbios.h header
for tracking purposes.
