ACPI / EC: Fix a code path that global lock is not held
Currently QR_EC is queued up on CPU 0 to be safe with SMM because there is
no global lock held for acpi_ec_gpe_query(). As we are about to move QR_EC
to a non CPU 0 bound work queue to avoid invoking kmalloc() in
advance_transaction(), we have to acquire global lock for the new QR_EC
work item to avoid regressions.
Known issue:
1. Global lock for acpi_ec_clear().
This is an existing issue that acpi_ec_clear() which invokes
acpi_ec_sync_query() also suffers from the same issue. But this patch's
target is only the code to invoke acpi_ec_sync_query() in a CPU 0 bound
work queue item, and the acpi_ec_clear() can be automatically fixed by
further patch that merges the redundant code, so it is left unchanged.
