[PATCH] acpi: fadt: Fix FACS checking

In case of HW reduced platforms, FIRMWARE_CTRL and X_FIRMWARE_CTRL are
allowed to be 0 in the FADT as a FACS may not be provided. The FACS
validation which checks these fields does register a success for HW reduced
platforms when the fields are both 0, or registers a failure for non-HW
reduced platforms as FACS is required in that case. However, the FACS
validation continues with other checks, which can override the previous
success with a failure, causing an invalid test result and confusing output
messages.
We can do better by returning early after validating FIRMWARE_CTRL and
X_FIRMWARE_CTRL are both 0 and the platform is or is not HW reduced as we
have made a definitive pass/fail determination, and further checking is not
warranted.
