ACPI/PCI: Negotiate _OSC control bits before requesting them
It is possible that the BIOS will not grant control of all _OSC features requested via acpi_pci_osc_control_set(), so it is recommended to negotiate the final set of _OSC features with the query flag set before calling _OSC to request control of these features. To implement it, rework acpi_pci_osc_control_set() so that the caller can specify the mask of _OSC control bits to negotiate and the mask of _OSC control bits that are absolutely necessary to it. Then, acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will run _OSC queries in a loop until the mask of _OSC control bits returned by the BIOS is equal to the mask passed to it. Also, before running the _OSC request acpi_pci_osc_control_set() will check if the caller's required control bits are present in the final mask. Using this mechanism we will be able to avoid situations in which the BIOS doesn't grant control of certain _OSC features, because they depend on some other _OSC features that have not been requested.
