Alexey Starikovskiy c0d127b569 ACPICA: fix AML mutex re-entrancy
ACPI AML supports "serialized" methods which are protected
by an implicit mutex.  The mutex is re-entrant for that AML thread
to allow recursion.

However, Linux implements notify() by creating a new AML thread.
So for systems where notify() re-enters a serialized method,
deadlock results.

The fix is to use the Linux thread_id as the key to allowing
re-entrancy, not the AML thread pointer.
