ACPICA: Refuse to evaluate a method if arguments are missing
BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2122072
[ Upstream commit 6fcab2791543924d438e7fa49276d0998b0a069f ]
As reported in [1], a platform firmware update that increased the number
of method parameters and forgot to update a least one of its callers,
caused ACPICA to crash due to use-after-free.
Since this a result of a clear AML issue that arguably cannot be fixed
up by the interpreter (it cannot produce missing data out of thin air),
address it by making ACPICA refuse to evaluate a method if the caller
attempts to pass fewer arguments than expected to it.
Closes: acpica/acpica#1027 [1]
