Subject: dmi data: fix failure of reading dmi data for unset dmi values

it is not uncommon to find dmi data in /sys full of 'ff'. utf-8
decoding of those would fail, causing warning and stacktrace.

Return '.' instead of \xff. This maps to what dmidecode would return

$ dmidecode --string system-product-name
