Subject: [PATCH 1/7] platform/x86: fujitsu-laptop: do not use kfifo for storing hotkey scancodes

All ACPI device notify callbacks are invoked using acpi_os_execute(),
which causes the supplied callback to be queued to a static workqueue
which always executes on CPU 0.  This means that there is no possibility
for any ACPI device notify callback to be concurrently executed on
multiple CPUs, which in the case of fujitsu-laptop means that using a
locked kfifo for handling hotkeys is redundant: as hotkey scancodes are
only pushed and popped from within acpi_fujitsu_laptop_notify(), no risk
of concurrent pushing and popping exists.

Instead of a kfifo, use a fixed-size integer table for storing pushed
scancodes and an associated variable holding the number of scancodes
currently stored in that table.  Change debug messages so that they no
longer contain the term "ringbuffer".

In order to simplify implementation, hotkey input device behavior is
slightly changed (from FIFO to LIFO).  The order of release events
generated by the input device should not matter from end user
perspective as upon releasing any hotkey the firmware only produces a
single event which means "all hotkeys were released".
