[Bugfix 2/2] x86/PCI/ACPI: Relax ACPI resource descriptor checks to work around BIOS bugs

[Jiang Liu]

Some BIOSes report incorrect length for ACPI address space descriptors,
so relax the checks to avoid regressions. This issue has appeared several
times as:
3162b6f0c5e1 ("PNPACPI: truncate _CRS windows with _LEN > _MAX - _MIN + 1")
d558b483d5a7 ("x86/PCI: truncate _CRS windows with _LEN > _MAX - _MIN + 1")
f238b414a74a ("PNPACPI: compute Address Space length rather than using _LEN")
48728e077480 ("x86/PCI: compute Address Space length rather than using _LEN")

Please refer to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94221
for more details and example malformed ACPI resource descriptors.
