[PATCH] ACPI: full battery charge cannot exceed current one

[Jan Vcelak]

Some degraded batteries report maximal capacity to be smaller than
current charge of the battery. This can confuse some user space
applications (like upower).

This patch handles the situation by increasing maximal capacity
of the battery if it exceedes current charge.
