[PATCH V3] input: Default to only using PNP for i8042 probing on x86

[Matthew Garrett]

Experimenting with Windows has revealed that it will not probe the
keyboard controller unless a valid PNPACPI device is present. Change our
behaviour to match - users can override by using the existing
i8042.nopnp=1 parameter.
