ACPI / sysfs: Fix an issue for LoadTable opcode

Browse Source 
OEM tables can be installed via RSDT/XSDT, in this case, they have already
been created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables.

For this kind of tables, normally LoadTable opcode will be executed to load
them. If LoadTable opcode is executed after acpi_sysfs_init(),
acpi_sysfs_table_handler() will be invoked, thus a redundant table file
will be created under /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic. Then running
"acpidump" on such platform results in an error, complaining blank empty
table (see Link 1 below).

The bug can be reproduced by customizing an OEM1 table, allowing it to be
overridden via 'table_sigs' (drivers/acpi/tables.c), adding the following
code to the customized DSDT to load it:

  Name (OEMH, Zero)
  Name (OEMF, One)
  If (LEqual (OEMF, One)) {
      Store (LoadTable ("OEM1", "Intel", "Test"), OEMH)
      Store (Zero, OEMF)
  }

In order to make sure that the OEM1 table is installed after
acpi_sysfs_init(), acpi_sysfs_init() can be moved before invoking
acpi_load_tables(). Then the following command execution result can be
seen:
 # acpidump > acpidump.txt
 Could not read table header: /sysfs/firmware/acpi/tables/dynamic/OEM12
 Could not get ACPI table at index 17, AE_BAD_HEADER
