ACPI: Add "acpi.power_nocheck=1" to disable power state check in power transition
Maybe the incorrect power state is returned on the bogus bios, which
is different with the real power state. For example: the bios returns D0
state and the real power state is D3. OS expects to set the device to D0
state. In such case if OS uses the power state returned by the BIOS and
checks the device power state very strictly in power transition, the device
can't be transited to the correct power state.
So the boot option of "acpi.power_nocheck=1" is added to avoid checking
the device power in the course of device power transition.
