Reverting 'ACPI: Execute _PTS before system reboot'

Starting with kernel v4.8.0 a bug was introduced that prevented a correct shutdown/reboot of the machine. Bug has been fixed in 4.9rc7 and then backported to 4.8; the kernel tree 4.9 and kernels >= 4.8.15 are not be affected by the issue anymore.

The bad commit was:

2c85025c75dfe7ddc2bb33363a998dad59383f94
ACPI: Execute _PTS before system reboot

Kernels from 4.8.0 to 4.8.14 are affected, please upgrade to 4.8.15 or to 4.9.

A special thanks to Giampaolo on kbz for bisecting sources down to the root cause.
