firmware: dmi_scan: Only honor end-of-table for 64-bit tables
A 32-bit entry point to a DMI table says how many structures the table
contains. The SMBIOS specification explicitly says that end-of-table
markers should be ignored if they are not actually at the end of the
DMI table. So only honor the end-of-table marker for tables accessed
through 64-bit entry points, as they do not specify a structure count.

Fixes: fc43026278 ("dmi: add support for SMBIOS 3.0 64-bit entry point")
