Subject: [PATCH v3 1/3] ACPI: EC: Limit explicit removal of query handlers to custom query handlers

According to the ACPI spec part 5.6.4.1.2, EC query handlers discovered
thru ACPI should not be removed when a driver removes his custom query
handler. On the Acer Travelmate 4002WLMi for example, such a query
handler is used as a fallback to handle the EC SMBus alert when no driver
is present.
Change acpi_ec_remove_query_handlers() so that only custom query
handlers are removed then remove_all is false. Query handlers discovered
thru ACPI will still get removed when remove_all is true, which happens
on device removal. Also add a simple check to ensure that
acpi_ec_add_query_handler() is always called with either handle or func
being set, since custom query handlers are detected based whether
handlers->func is set or not.

Tested on a Acer Travelmate 4002WLMi.
