ACPI / EC: Fix race condition in ec_transaction_completed()
There is a race condition in ec_transaction_completed(). When ec_transaction_completed() is called in the GPE handler, it could return true because of (ec->curr == NULL). Then the wake_up() invocation could complete the next command unexpectedly since there is no lock between the 2 invocations. With the previous cleanup, the IBF=0 waiter race need not be handled any more. It's now safe to return a flag from advance_condition() to indicate the requirement of wakeup, the flag is returned from a locked context. The ec_transaction_completed() is now only invoked by the ec_poll() where the ec->curr is ensured to be different from NULL. After cleaning up, the EVT_SCI=1 check should be moved out of the wakeup condition so that an EVT_SCI raised with (ec->curr == NULL) can trigger a QR_SC command.
