Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: battery: fix battery->alarm is updated when it is not supported

battery alarm is checked whether BIOS supports it before past to BIOS;
however, the value is updatd without being checked. This causes alarm return
an incorrect value that never represents an actual state BIOS is in.
