Use dell_smbios*notifier for dell-laptop to listen to dell-rbtn slider

by dell-rbtn to auto-remove its rfkill interface when called.
This results in a nice cleanup, downside is that the rfkill interface
of dell-rbtn is not automatically re-enabled on rmmod dell-laptop, this
now requires rmmod + insmod of dell-rbtn. But people who do not want
dell-laptop for some reason will have it blacklisted anyways, so this
is not an issue and there is a work-around.

Changes in v2:
-This is a new patch in v2 of my platform/x86/dell-* notifier set intended
to show how dell_smbios*notifier can be used to improve the dell-rbtn
integration too
Changes in v3:
-Call dell_rbtn_has_rfkill_func instead of dell_rbtn_has_rfkill, so that the
dynamic symbol dance we do to allow loading without dell-rbtn actually works.

Looks like that for preventing sending event that rfkill switch was
changed by hardware slider we must always drop atk i8042 keycode...
Needs to check if key is really send by both dell-rbtn and also by atk
i8042 keyboard driver and if yes then i8042_install_filter() is always
needed (if rbtn is there or not)...
But this is not related to this patch, right? This patch does not change
any behavior. Other then your concerns about where to put the notifier,
do you like the approach of this patch?
It is not related, but if above is truth, then another rewrite (also of
those your changes!) is needed. So maybe it would be better to postpone
(or drop this patch from your patch series) so we do not invest time for
something which will be again rewritten...
Ok, I'm fine with delaying this cleanup till your questions are answered.
Maybe we should then also move ahead with the notifier in dell-smbios,
because without this patch it is only used by dell-wmi and dell-laptop
both of which already depend on dell-smbios.
Regards,
Hans
