[PATCH] drm/amdgpu: Align serial size in drm_amdgpu_info_vbios

Mesa doesn't use sysfs.

Note that this is a uapi, meaning that once it's in the kernel, it can't be
changed like that.

What's the use case for this new interface? Isn't it partially redundant
with the current device info structure, which seems to have the equivalent
of dev_id and rev_id?
