Subject: [PATCH v2] platform/x86: wmi: Skip blocks with zero instances

Some machines like the HP Omen 17 ck2000nf contain WMI blocks
with zero instances, so any WMI driver which tries to handle the
associated WMI device will fail.
Skip such WMI blocks to avoid confusing any WMI drivers.

Thank you for your contribution, it has been applied to my local
review-ilpo branch. Note it will show up in the public
platform-drivers-x86/review-ilpo branch only once I've pushed my
local branch there, which might take a while.
