ACPI: Always return valid 'status' from acpi_battery_get_property()

If a battery is at a critical charge level and not being charged or
discharged, then the ACPI _BST method will return a state of 4, and
the current acpi_battery_get_property() code will not set any property
value for POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_STATUS. This will cause an oops in
power_supply_show_property() when it reads off the end of the
status_text array. This actually was causing a 100% reproducible
crash on boot on my laptop with two batteries, when one battery was
completely drained and the laptop was not plugged in.

Fix this by making sure acpi_battery_get_property() returns
POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS_UNKNOWN for any battery state it doesn't already
handle explicitly. There doesn't seem to be any status enum value
defined that makes more sense than 'unknown' for a battery at a
critical charge level.
