    platform/x86: wmi: Break possible infinite loop when parsing GUID
    
    [ Upstream commit 028e6e204ace1f080cfeacd72c50397eb8ae8883 ]
    
    The while-loop may break on one of the two conditions, either ID string
    is empty or GUID matches. The second one, may never be reached if the
    parsed string is not correct GUID. In such a case the loop will never
    advance to check the next ID.
    
    Break possible infinite loop by factoring out guid_parse_and_compare()
    helper which may be moved to the generic header for everyone later on
    and preventing from similar mistake in the future.
    
    Interestingly that firstly it appeared when WMI was turned into a bus
    driver, but later when duplicated GUIDs were checked, the while-loop
    has been replaced by for-loop and hence no mistake made again.
