ACPICA: Update for mutiple global lock acquisitions by same thread
Allows AcpiAcquireGlobalLock external interface to be called multiple times by the same thread. Allows use of AML fields that require the global lock while the running AML is already holding the global lock.

* DESCRIPTION: Acquire the ACPI Global Lock
*
+ * Note: Allows callers with the same thread ID to acquire the global lock
+ * multiple times. In other words, externally, the behavior of the global lock
+ * is identical to an AML mutex. On the first acquire, a new handle is
+ * returned. On any subsequent calls to acquire by the same thread, the same
+ * handle is returned.
