platform/x86: acer-wmi: Add predator_v4 module parameter
[ Upstream commit f9124f2a454a6f1edb4eae9f0646b1a61fd74dba ]
This parameter allows predator laptop users to test and use features
(mode button, platform profile, fan speed monitoring) without
adding model names to acer_quirks and compiling kernel.
