ACPICA: Fix allowable release order for ASL mutex objects

The ACPI 4.0 specification has been changed to make the SyncLevel
for mutex objects more useful. When releasing a mutex, the
synclevel of the mutex must now be the same as the current sync
level. This makes more sense. This change updates the code to
match the spec.
