platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Don't register keyboard_lang unnecessarily
All recent ThinkPad BIOS-es support the GSKL method used to query the keyboard-layout used by the ECFW for the SHIFT + other-key key-press emulation for special keys such as e.g. the '=', '(' and ')' keys above the numpad on 15" models. So just checking for the method is not a good indicator of the model supporting getting/setting the keyboard_lang. On models where this is not supported GSKL succeeds, but it returns METHOD_ERR in the returned integer to indicate that this is not supported on this model. Add a check for METHOD_ERR and return -ENODEV if it is set to avoid registering a non-working keyboard_lang sysfs-attr on models where this is not supported.
