ACPI / EC: Refine command storm prevention support

This patch refines EC command storm prevention support.

Current command storming code is wrong, when the storming condition is
detected, it only flags the condition without doing anything for the
current command but performing storming prevention for the follow-up
commands. So:
1. The first command which suffers from the storming still suffers from
   storming.
2. The follow-up commands which may not suffer from the storming are
   unconditionally forced into the storming prevention mode.
Ideally, we should only enable storm prevention immediately after detection
for the current command so that the next command can try the
power/performance efficient interrupt mode again.

This patch improves the command storm prevention by disabling GPE right
after the detection and re-enabling it right before completing the command
transaction using the GPE storming prevention APIs. This thus deploys the
following GPE handling model:
1. acpi_enable_gpe()/acpi_disable_gpe() for reference count changes:
   This set of APIs are used for EC usage reference counting.
2. acpi_set_gpe(ACPI_GPE_ENABLE)/acpi_set_gpe(ACPI_GPE_DISABLE):
   This set of APIs are used for preventing GPE storm. They must be invoked
   when the reference count > 0.
   Note that as the storming prevention should always happen when there is
   an outstanding request, or GPE enabling value will be messed up by the
   races. This patch also adds BUG_ON() to enforces this rule to prevent
   future bugs.

The msleep(1) used after completing a transaction is useless now as this
sounds like a guard time only useful for platforms that need the
EC_FLAGS_MSI quirks while we have fixed GPE race issues using the previous
raw handler mode enabling. It is kept to avoid regressions. A seperate
patch which deletes EC_FLAGS_MSI quirks should take care of deleting it.
