[PATCH] acpi: Fix hed module initialization order when it is built-in

When the module hed is built-in, the init order is determined by
Makefile order. That order violates expectations. Because the module
hed init is behind evged. RAS records can't be handled in the
special time window that evged has initialized while hed not.
If the number of such RAS records is more than the APEI HEST error
source number, the HEST resources could be occupied all, and then
could affect subsequent RAS error reporting.
