ACPI: Make seemingly useless check in osl.c more understandable
There is a seemingly useless check in drivers/acpi/osl.c added by commit bc73675 (ACPI: fixes a false alarm from lockdep), which really is necessary to avoid false positive lockdep complaints. Document this and rearrange the code related to it so that it makes fewer checks. Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com> Acked-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org>
