ACPICA: Delete recursive feature of ACPI Global Lock

Completed a new design and implementation for
the ACPI Global Lock support. On the OS side, the global
lock is now treated as a standard AML mutex. Previously,
multiple OS threads could acquire the global lock
simultaneously, but this could cause the BIOS to be starved
by the lock in cases such as the Embedded Controller driver,
where there is a tight coupling between the OS and the BIOS.

  * DESCRIPTION: Attempt to gain ownership of the Global Lock.
  *
+ * MUTEX:       Interpreter must be locked
+ *
+ * Note: The original implementation allowed multiple threads to "acquire" the
+ * Global Lock, and the OS would hold the lock until the last thread had
+ * released it. However, this could potentially starve the BIOS out of the
+ * lock, especially in the case where there is a tight handshake between the
+ * Embedded Controller driver and the BIOS. Therefore, this implementation
+ * allows only one thread to acquire the HW Global Lock at a time, and makes
+ * the global lock appear as a standard mutex on the OS side.
