Subject: Only decode one DMI table
Git-commit: 12fbde92a26da61eda9f2ff0ba3c316779163f10
References: https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?50022

Since version 3.0.0 of the SMBIOS specification, there can be
multiple entry points in memory, pointing to one or two DMI tables.
If both a 32-bit ("_SM_") entry point and a 64-bit ("_SM3_") entry
point are present, the specification requires that the latter points
to a table which is a super-set of the table pointed to by the
former. Therefore it makes no sense to decode both.

Per specification, look for a 64-bit ("_SM3_") entry point first, and
if we can't find any, look for a 32-bit ("_SM_" or "_DMI_") entry
point.

This fixes bug #50022:
