ACPI/PCI: Do not preserve _OSC control bits returned by a query
There is the assumption in acpi_pci_osc_control_set() that it is
always sufficient to compare the mask of _OSC control bits to be
requested with the result of an _OSC query where all of the known
control bits have been checked. However, in general, that need not
be the case. For example, if an _OSC feature A depends on an _OSC
feature B and control of A, B plus another _OSC feature C is
requested simultaneously, the BIOS may return A, B, C, while it would
only return C if A and C were requested without B.
That may result in passing a wrong mask of _OSC control bits to an
_OSC control request, in which case the BIOS may only grant control
of a subset of the requested features. Moreover, acpi_pci_run_osc()
will return error code if that happens and the caller of
acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will not know that it's been granted
control of some _OSC features. Consequently, the system will
generally not work as expected.
Apart from this acpi_pci_osc_control_set() always uses the mask
of _OSC control bits returned by the very first invocation of
acpi_pci_query_osc(), but that is done with the second argument
equal to OSC_PCI_SEGMENT_GROUPS_SUPPORT which generally happens
to affect the returned _OSC control bits.
For these reasons, make acpi_pci_osc_control_set() always check if
control of the requested _OSC features will be granted before making
the final control request. As a result, the osc_control_qry and
osc_queried members of struct acpi_pci_root are not necessary any
more, so drop them and remove the remaining code referring to them.
