Subject: [PATCH] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: Ignore battery threshold change event notification

If user modifies the battery charge threshold an ACPI event is generated.
Confirmed with Lenovo FW team this is only generated on user event. As no
action is needed, ignore the event and prevent spurious kernel logs.

Reported-by: Derek Barbosa <debarbos@...hat.com>
