commit 6998a8800d73116187aad542391ce3b2dd0f9e30 upstream.

Upstream commit 6998a8800d73116187aad542391ce3b2dd0f9e30 along with 
upstream commit 1a1c130ab7575498eed5bcf7220037ae09cd1f8a (ACPI: tables: 
x86: Reserve memory occupied by ACPI tables) fixes the following issue.

Mounting an iSCSI volume during boot causes the following crash with a 
KASAN enabled kernel:

     ACPI: x86: Call acpi_boot_table_init() after acpi_table_upgrade()

     Commit 1a1c130ab757 ("ACPI: tables: x86: Reserve memory occupied by
     ACPI tables") attempted to address an issue with reserving the memory
     occupied by ACPI tables, but it broke the initrd-based table override
     mechanism relied on by multiple users.

     To restore the initrd-based ACPI table override functionality, move
     the acpi_boot_table_init() invocation in setup_arch() on x86 after
     the acpi_table_upgrade() one.
