when acpi=off is provided in bootarg, kernel crash with

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000018
 RIP: 0010:acpi_ns_walk_namespace+0x57/0x280
  <TASK>
 ? acpi_get_devices+0x140/0x140
 cros_ec_lpc_init+0x25/0x100

Driver should check if ACPI is disabled before calling acpi_get_devices(),
otherwise acpi_walk_namespace() will dereference null pointer since the
acpi_gbl_root_node is not initialized.
This is a common pattern and should be fixed in ACPI framework to prevent
such crash in the future, but since many drivers are already doing explicit
check(acpi_disable) we do the same thing here.
