Yi Yang 3d532d5e38 ACPI: fix processor throttling set error
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9704

When echo some invalid values to /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling,
there isn't any error info returned, on the contray, it sets
throttling value to some T* successfully, obviously, this is incorrect,
a correct way should be to let it fail and return error info.

This patch fixed the aforementioned issue, it also enables
/proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling to accept such values as 't0' and 'T0',
it also strictly limits /proc/acpi/processor/*/throttling only to accept
 "*", "t*" and "T*", "*" is the throttling state value the processor can
support, current, it is 0 - 7.

Before applying this patch, the test result is below:
