ACPI 3.0 introduced a new Operating System Capabilities _OSC control
method. This method is similar to _PDC, which was marked as deprecated
in ACPI 3.0.

Prefer using _OSC method over deprecated _PDC in the acpi_bus_init(). In
case of the failure of the _OSC, try to using _PDC as a fallback.

Testing done:
Tested on physical server with BIOS implementing _OSC methods. In this
case acpi_processor_osc() was executed for each CPU core. acpi_run_osc()
returned success indicating that _OSC method succeeded.

Tested on qemu VM to check whether the code would work on a SeaBios (the
default for qemu, doesn't support _OSC methods, or _PDC). This way I was
able to see how code behaves in case BIOS doesn't implement _OSC. In
that case the function
acpi_run_osc() returned failure, which propagated all the way up to
acpi_early_processor_osc(). The logic reponsible for triggering _PDC
execution was triggered correctly.

Tested this using debug messages with printk.
