Subject: [RFC] ACPICA: save a function call

In function acpi_ps_build_named_op, the if statement
in line 221 ensure the argument status to function call
acpi_ps_next_parse_state has the value 0, while
acpi_ps_next_parse_state do not change any global state
when called with callback_status==0.

I think following lines should be removed to save some CPU
cycles because the compilers won't do it (the callee
is defined in another compiling unit, so it can't be inlined).
