ACPICA: Delete recursive feature of ACPI Global Lock
Completed a new design and implementation for
the ACPI Global Lock support. On the OS side, the global
lock is now treated as a standard AML mutex. Previously,
multiple OS threads could acquire the global lock
simultaneously, but this could cause the BIOS to be starved
by the lock in cases such as the Embedded Controller driver,
where there is a tight coupling between the OS and the BIOS.
