[PATCH] platform/x86: wmi: Make input buffer madatory when evaulating methods

[Armin Wolf <W_Armin@xxxxxx>]

The ACPI-WMI specification declares that a WMxx control method takes
3 arguments: instance, method id and argument buffer. This is also
the case even when the underlying WMI method does not have any
input arguments.

So if a WMI driver evaluates a WMI method without passing an input
buffer, ACPICA will log a warning complaining that the third argument
is missing.

Prevent this by checking that a input buffer was passed, and return
an error if this was not the case.

Tested on a Asus PRIME B650-Plus.
