Subject: [PATCH 2/3] i8k: Rework error retries
Instead of returning a previous value if the SMM code returns
an error when trying to read a temperature, retry once.
If that fails again, return -ENODATA. Also return -ENODATA if an
attempt is made to read the GPU temperature but the GPU is
currently turned off.
Drop the I8K_TEMPERATURE_BUG definition and handle the related bug
unconditionally.
