ACPI / PCI: Fix sysfs acpi_index and label errors
Fix errors in handling "device label" _DSM return values. If _DSM returns a Unicode string, the ACPI type is ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER, not ACPI_TYPE_STRING. Fix dsm_label_utf16s_to_utf8s() to convert UTF-16 from acpi_object->buffer instead of acpi_object->string. Prior to v3.14, we accepted Unicode labels (ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER return values). But after 1d0fcef7, we accepted only ASCII (ACPI_TYPE_STRING) (and we incorrectly tried to convert those ASCII labels from UTF-16 to UTF-8). Rejecting Unicode labels made us return -EPERM when reading sysfs "acpi_index" or "label" files, which in turn caused on-board network interfaces on a Dell PowerEdge E420 to be renamed (by udev net_id internal) from eno1/eno2 to enp2s0f0/enp2s0f1. Fix this by accepting either ACPI_TYPE_STRING (and treating it as ASCII) or ACPI_TYPE_BUFFER (and converting from UTF-16 to UTF-8).
