Hi,

When executing on a ACPI Hardware reduced hardware, all the ACPI tables are not
exposed in sysfs due to the fact that FACS is silently ignored by the kernel in
ACPI hardware reduced and, moreover, the acpi_tables_sysfs_init ACPI table walk
is buggy and stop too soon.

The acpi_tables_sysfs_init function should to rely on the appropriate
acpi_status return values to decide or not to stop the iteration.  This way,
when running on a ACPI Reduced Harware environment where the FACS table is
silently ignored by the kernel or some ACPI table are not correctly memory
mapped or have a bad checksum it would not stop the iteration.
