ACPI / ACPICA: Do not attempt to disable GPE when installing handler

Commit 0f849d2cc6863c7874889ea60a871fb71399dd3f (ACPICA: Minimize
the differences between linux GPE code and ACPICA code base)
introduced a change attempting to disable a GPE before installing
a handler for it in acpi_install_gpe_handler() which was incorrect.
First, the GPE disabled by it is never enabled again (except during
resume) which leads to battery insert/remove events not being
reported on the Maxim Levitsky's machine.  Second, the disabled
GPE is still reported as enabled by the sysfs interface that only
checks its enable register's enable_for_run mask.

Revert this change for now, because it causes more damage to happen
than the bug it was supposed to fix.
