PCI: pciehp: add ACPI based slot detection

There is a problem that some non hot-pluggable PCIe slots are detected
as hot-pluggable by pciehp on some platforms. The immediate cause of
this problem is that hot-plug capable bit in the Slot Capabilities
register is set even for non hot-pluggable slots on those platforms.
It seems a BIOS/hardware problem, but we need workaround about that.

Some of those platforms define hot-pluggable PCIe slots on ACPI
namespace properly, while hot-plug capable bit in the Slot
Capabilities register is set improperly. So using ACPI namespace
information in pciehp to detect PCIe hot-pluggable slots would be a
workaround.

This patch adds 'pciehp_detect_mode' module option. When 'acpi' is
specified, pciehp uses ACPI namespace information to detect PCIe
hot-pluggable slots.
