Subject: [PATCH 47/50] ACPI: processor: fix acpi_get_cpuid for UP processor

From: Lin Ming <ming.m.lin@...el.com>

For UP processor, it is likely that no _MAT method or MADT table defined.
So currently acpi_get_cpuid(...) always return -1 for UP processor.
This is wrong. It should return valid value for CPU0.

In the other hand, BIOS may define multiple CPU handles even for UP
processor, for example

        Scope (_PR)
        {
            Processor (CPU0, 0x00, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
            Processor (CPU1, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
            Processor (CPU2, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
            Processor (CPU3, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
        }

We should only return valid value for CPU0's acpi handle.
And return invalid value for others.
