[PATCH] arm64: efi: add check for broken efi poweroff

Poweroff via UEFI Runtime Services doesn't always work on every single
arm64 machine.  For example, on Lenovo Flex 5G laptop, it results in
a system reboot rather than shutdown.  Add a DMI check to keep such
system stay with the original poweroff method (PSCI).
