thinkpad-acpi: enable loading module with new B-series Lenovo BIOS

Browse Source 
The new B series BIOS has version string 43CN46WW. The driver
requires that 2nd and 3rd characters be 'E' and 'T' respectively,
where as the newer BIOS has 'C' and 'N' respectively. Failing to
load the module causes some of the hotkeys to not work.

Before the patch
================
sudo modprobe thinkpad_acpi
FATAL: Error inserting thinkpad_acpi (/lib/modules/3.5.0-15-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.ko): No such device
