Here is a small pile of updates to better coordinate the Linux ARS state
machine with platform-BIOS implementations. Specifically, take advantage
of opportunities to run short-ARS whenever the ARS interface is found to
be idle at init, always run short-ARS even if no_init_ars is specified,
allow root to reset the exponential backoff polling interval for ARS
completion, and protect the kernel against the consumption of stale ARS
results.
