Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ACPI: EC: Drop EC noirq hooks to fix a regression

According to the bug report, though the busy polling mode can make noirq
stages executed faster, it causes abnormal fan blowing up after a system
resume (see link #1 for a video demonstration) on Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon
- the 5th Generation. The problem can be fixed by an upgraded EC firmware.

However many reporters can also confirm that the problem can be fixed by
stopping busy polling during suspend/resume.

This patch drops noirq stage hooks so that the regression can be fixed
without upgrading the EC firmware.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ACPI: EC: Revert "ACPI / EC: Enable event freeze mode..." to fix a regression

On Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon - the 5th Generation, enabling an earlier EC
event freezing timing causes acpitz-virtual-0 to report a stucked 48C
temparature. And with EC firmware revisioned as 1.14, without reverting
back to old EC event freezing timing, the fan still blows up after a system
resume (see comment 168 on link #1).

This reverts the culprit change so that the regression can be fixed without
upgrading the EC firmware.

Both patches applied with some minor modifications in the changelogs.
