ACPICA: Allow same ACPI table to be loaded/unloaded more than once 

Without this change, a table cannot be loaded again once it has
been loaded/unloaded one time. The current mechanism does not
unregister a table upon an unload. During a load, if the same
table is found, this no longer returns an exception.
