when acpi=off is provided in bootarg, kernel crash with
[ 1.252739] BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
[ 1.258308] Call Trace:
[ 1.258490] ? acpi_walk_namespace+0x147/0x147
[ 1.258770] acpi_get_devices+0xe4/0x137
[ 1.258921] ? drm_core_init+0xc0/0xc0 [drm]
[ 1.259108] detect_thinkpad_privacy_screen+0x5e/0xa8 [drm]
[ 1.259337] drm_privacy_screen_lookup_init+0xe/0xe85 [drm]
The reason is that acpi_walk_namespace expects acpi related stuff
initialized but in fact it wouldn't when acpi is set to off. In this case
we should honor acpi=off in detect_thinkpad_privacy_screen().
