Subject: [PATCH 3/7] Revert "ACPI / OSI: Add OEM _OSI strings to disable NVidia RTD3"

This reverts commit 9251a71db62ca9cc7e7cf364218610b0f018c291.

This was never discussed with anybody Nouveau related and we would have NACKed
this change immediately.

We have a better workaround, which makes it actually work with Nouveau. No idea
why the comment mentions the Nvidia driver and assumes it gives any weight to
the reasoning.... we don't care about out of tree drivers.

Nouveau does support RTD3, but we had some issues with that. And we even have
a better fix for this issue. Also, can we _please_ do it in a way worthy of an
upstream community the next time?

If some distribution feels like they have to please companies not wanting to
be part of the linux community, please do so downstream and don't try to push
something like this upstream.
