[meta-virtualization][PATCH] libvirt: fix missing dmidecode on arm/aarch64 platform

[meta-virtualization][PATCH] libvirt: fix missing dmidecode on arm/aarch64 platform

[Xiangyu Chen]

From: Xiangyu Chen <xiangyu.chen@windriver.com>

When using libvirtd on aarch64 platform, after system bootup, the log of libvirtd
contains an error as below:

libvirtd[417]: internal error: Child process (/usr/sbin/dmidecode -q -t 0,1,2,3,4,11,17) 
unexpected exit status 127: 
libvirt:  error : cannot execute binary /usr/sbin/dmidecode: No such file or directory

After checking the libvirt source code, the arm/aarch64 also try to call dmidecode to get
the system information[1], so add the dmidecode as depends under arm and aarch64 platform.
