platform/x86: lenovo-wmi-helpers: Convert returned buffer into u32

The Windows WMI-ACPI driver converts all ACPI objects into a common
buffer format, so returning a buffer with four bytes will look like an
integer for WMI consumers under Windows.

Therefore, some devices may simply implement the corresponding ACPI
methods to always return a buffer. While lwmi_dev_evaluate_int() expects
an integer (u32), convert returned >=4B buffer into u32 to support these
devices.
