ACPI / processor : add support for ACPI0010 processor container
ACPI 6.0 adds support for optional processor container device which may contain child objects that are either processor devices or other processor containers. This allows representing hierarchical processor topologies. It is declared using the _HID of ACPI0010. It is an abstract container used to represent CPU topology and should not be used to hotplug purposes. If no matching handler is found for a device in acpi_scan_attach_handler, acpi_bus_attach does a default enumeration for those devices with valid HID in the acpi namespace. This patch adds a scan handler for these ACPI processor containers to avoid default that enumeration and ensures the platform devices are not created for them.
