ACPICA: Use spinlock for acpi_{en|dis}able_gpe

Disabling gpe might interfere with gpe detection/handling,
thus producing "interrupt not handled" errors.
Ironically, disabling of GPE from interrupt context is already
under spinlock, so only userspace needs to start using it.

Since commit bc45b1d39a925b56796bebf8a397a0491489d85c acpi tables are
allowed to have an empty signature and /sys/firmware/acpi/tables uses the
signature as filename.  Applications using naive recursion through /sys
loop forever.  A possible solution would be: (replacing the zero length
filename with the string "NULL")

ACPI: bugfix reporting of event handler status

Introduce a new flag showing whether the event has an event handler/method.

For all the GPEs and Fixed Events,
 1. ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE is cleared, it's an "invalid" ACPI event.
 2. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_DISABLE are set,
    it's "disabled".
 3. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_ENABLE are set,
    it's "enabled".
 4. Both ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_HANDLE and ACPI_EVENT_FLAG_WAKE_ENABLE are set,
    it's "wake_enabled".

Among other things, this prevents incorrect reporting of ACPI events
as being "invalid" when it's really just (temporarily) "disabled".

ACPI_DB_ERROR and ACPI_DB_WARN were removed from ACPICA core.
So replace ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_ERROR, ...) with printk(KERN_ERR PREFIX ...)
and ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT((ACPI_DB_WARN, ...) with printk(KERN_WARNING PREFIX ...)

We do not use ACPI_ERROR/ACPI_WARNING since they're not exported, see

x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute

Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

[akpm: remove the ifdef for now]

Allow users to enable/disable/clear a specific & valid GPE/Fixed Event
in user space.

This is useful for debugging, especially for some
interrupt storm issues.

All wakeup GPEs are disabled and they can not be enabled at runtime,
and we mark them as invalid.

All GPEs that don't have a _Lxx/_Exx method are marked as invalid.

All Fixed Events that don't have an event handler are marked as invalid
and they can't be enabled until an event handler is registered.
