When CONFIG_DMI is disabled, dmi_get_system_info() returns a NULL
pointer, which is now caught by a warning:

In function 'strlen',
    inlined from 'acpi_add.part.0' at drivers/platform/x86/lg-laptop.c:658:6:

The code in there does not appear essential, so an explicit
NULL check should be sufficient. The string is also printed
to the console, but printk() is able to handle NULL pointer
arguments gracefully.
