ACPI: Disable the C2C3_FFH access mode HW has no MWAIT support

Browse source 
991528d734
(ACPI: Processor native C-states using MWAIT)
started passing C2C3_FFH to _PDC to tell the BIOS
that Linux supports MWAIT for deep C-states.

However, we should first double check with the hardware
that it actually supports MWAIT before potentially exposing
a BIOS bug of an MWAIT _CST on HW that doesn't support MWAIT.
