acpi, nfit: Fix Address Range Scrub completion tracking
The Address Range Scrub implementation tried to skip running scrubs against ranges that were already scrubbed by the BIOS. Unfortunately that support also resulted in early scrub completions as evidenced by this debug output from nfit_test: nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 short complete nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 short complete nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start (0) nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 short complete ...i.e. completions without any indications that the scrub was started. This state of affairs was hard to see in the code due to the proliferation of state bits and mistakenly trying to track done state per-range when the completion is a global property of the bus. So, kill the four ARS state bits (ARS_REQ, ARS_REQ_REDO, ARS_DONE, and ARS_SHORT), and replace them with just 2 request flags ARS_REQ_SHORT and ARS_REQ_LONG. The implementation will still complete and reap the results of BIOS initiated ARS, but it will not attempt to use that information to affect the completion status of scrubbing the ranges from a Linux perspective. Instead, try to synchronously run a short ARS per range at init time and schedule a long scrub in the background. If ARS is busy with an ARS request, schedule both a short and a long scrub for when ARS returns to idle. This logic also satisfies the intent of what ARS_REQ_REDO was trying to achieve. The new rule is that the REQ flag stays set until the next successful ars_start() for that range. With the new policy that the REQ flags are not cleared until the next start, the implementation no longer loses requests as can be seen from the following log: nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 ARS start short (0) nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 ARS start short (0) nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 complete nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start short (0) nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 complete nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 ARS start long (0) nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 complete nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 ARS start long (0) nd_region region9: ARS: range 1 complete nd_region region3: ARS: range 1 complete nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 ARS start long (0) nd_region region4: ARS: range 2 complete ...note that the nfit_test emulated driver provides 2 buses, that is why some of the range indices are duplicated. Notice that each range now successfully completes a short and long scrub.
