Subject: firmware: dmi_scan: Fix UUID endianness for SMBIOS >= 2.6

commit ff4319dc7cd58c92b389960e375038335d157a60 upstream.

The dmi_ver wasn't updated correctly before the dmi_decode method run
to save the uuid.

That resulted in "dmidecode -s system-uuid" and
/sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid disagreeing. The latter was buggy and
this fixes it.

Fixes: 79bae42d51a5 ("dmi_scan: refactor dmi_scan_machine(), {smbios,dmi}_present()")
