[PATCH v5 1/3] ACPI / button: Add missing event to keep SW_LID running without additional event loss

[Lv Zheng]

There are several possibilities that a lid event can be lost. For example,
EC event queue full, or the resume order of the underlying drivers.

When the event loss happens, new event may also be lost due to the type of
the SW_LID (switch event). The 2nd loss is what we want to avoid.

This patch adds a mechanism to insert lid events as a compensation for the
switch event nature of the lid events in order to avoid the 2nd loss.
