[RFC][PATCH] ACPI / ACPICA: Always use the same lock for GPE locking

["Rafael J. Wysocki" <rjw@xxxxxxx>]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@xxxxxxx>

The GPE locking is now inconsistent, because acpi_set_gpe(),
acpi_enable_gpe() and acpi_disable_gpe() use acpi_gbl_gpe_lock for
this purpose, while acpi_clear_gpe() and acpi_get_gpe_status() use
the ACPI_MTX_EVENTS mutex instead (the mutex is only acquired if
they are not executed in interrupt context).  Fix this by changing
acpi_clear_gpe() and acpi_get_gpe_status() so that they acquire
acpi_gbl_gpe_lock too.
