On multiple devices I work on, we noticed that
/sys/firmware/acpi/interrupts/sci_not is non-zero and keeps increasing
over time.

It turns out that there is a race condition between servicing a GPE
interrupt and handling task driven transactions.

If a GPE interrupt is received at the same time ec_poll() is running,
the advance_transaction() clears the GPE flag and the interrupt is not
serviced as acpi_ev_detect_gpe() relies on the GPE flag to call the
handler. As a result, `sci_not' is increased.

To address this, move the GPE status check and clearing from
advance_transaction() directly into acpi_ec_handle_interrupt(), so the
EC GPE only gets cleared in the interrupt handling path.
