As reported by Joe Perches: OOM messages generally aren't useful. dmi_alloc is either a trivial front-end to kzalloc, and kzalloc already does a dump_stack() when OOM, or for x86, dmi_alloc uses extend_brk which BUGs when unsuccessful. So we can remove all 6 such log messages in the dmi_scan driver, to shrink the binary size (by 528 bytes on x86_64.)

This comment predates the introduction of early_ioremap. Since then the
missing calls to dmi_iounmap have been added by Ingo and Yinghai in
commits 0d64484f7ea1 ("x86: fix DMI ioremap leak") and 3212bff370c2
("x86: left over fix for leak of early_ioremp in dmi_scan") . That was
over 5 years ago so it is about time to drop this now misleading
comment.

The dcdbas code was "hand rolling" a binary attribute group, which the driver core now supports automatically. So remove the "create the files by hand" logic, and just set the proper field in the attribute group structure, saving lots of code and headache.

In pstore write, Efi will add a character 'C'(compressed) or D'(decompressed) in its header while writing to persistent store. In pstore read, read the header and update the 'compressed' flag accordingly.
