Subject: [PATCH 2/3] x86, acpi: On S3 failure, just fall through

Th "jmp" deleted by this patch in fact compiles to "jmp to next insn",
since ".p2align 4,,7" happens to not do any alignment -
aligning to 2^4 would require more than 7 bytes of padding:

000000b0 <do_suspend_lowlevel>:
  b0:   e8 fc ff ff ff          call   <save_processor_state>
  b5:   e8 8d ff ff ff          call   47 <save_registers>
  ba:   6a 03                   push   $0x3
  bc:   e8 fc ff ff ff          call   <x86_acpi_enter_sleep_state>
  c1:   83 c4 04                add    $0x4,%esp
  c4:   eb 00                   jmp    c6 <ret_point>   <============ THIS
000000c6 <ret_point>:
  c6:   e8 c4 ff ff ff          call   8f <restore_registers>

Run-tested.
