ACPI / EC: Fix race condition in ec_transaction_completed()

There is a race condition in ec_transaction_completed().

When ec_transaction_completed() is called in the GPE handler, it could
return true because of (ec->curr == NULL). Then the wake_up() invocation
could complete the next command unexpectedly since there is no lock between
the 2 invocations. With the previous cleanup, the IBF=0 waiter race need
not be handled any more. It's now safe to return a flag from
advance_condition() to indicate the requirement of wakeup, the flag is
returned from a locked context.

The ec_transaction_completed() is now only invoked by the ec_poll() where
the ec->curr is ensured to be different from NULL.

After cleaning up, the EVT_SCI=1 check should be moved out of the wakeup
condition so that an EVT_SCI raised with (ec->curr == NULL) can trigger a
QR_SC command.
