ACPICA: Remove global option to serialize all control methods.

Browse Source 
According to the reports, the "acpi_serialize" mechanism is broken as:

 A. The parallel method calls can still happen when the interpreter lock is
    released under the following conditions:
    1. External callbacks are invoked, for example, by the region handlers,
       the exception handlers, etc.;
    2. Module level execution is performed when Load/LoadTable opcodes are
       executed, and
    3. The _REG control methods are invoked to complete the region
       registrations.
 B. For the following situations, the interpreter lock need to be released
    even for a serialized method while currently, the lock-releasing
    operation is marked as a no-op by
    acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() when this mechanism is
    enabled:
    1. Wait opcode is executed,
    2. Acquire opcode is executed, and
    3. Sleep opcode is executed.

This patch removes this mechanism and the internal
acpi_ex_relinquish/reacquire_interpreter() APIs.  Lv Zheng.
