ACPICA: Tables: Remove old mechanism to validate if XSDT contains NULL entries.
With the NULL entry sanity check implemented, the XSDT validation is useless because: 1. If XSDT contains NULL entries, it can be bypassed by the new sanity check mechanism; 2. If RSDP contains a bad XSDT address, invoking XSDT validation will still lead to a kernel crash. This patch deletes the old XSDT validation solution and thus enables the new NULL entry sanity check solution. Note that if there are reports reporting regressions caused by the enabling of the new feature and disabling of the old feature, this commit should be bisected and reverted. Lv Zheng.
