i2c/eeprom: Hide Sony Vaio serial numbers
The sysfs interface to DMI data takes care to not make the system serial number and UUID world-readable, presumably due to privacy concerns. For consistency, we should not let the eeprom driver export these same strings to the world on Sony Vaio laptops. Instead, only make them readable by root, as we already do for BIOS passwords.
