[PATCH v2] ACPI: PCI: Avoid misleading _OSC messages for non-PCIe host bridges without _OSC

After commit 7d703df7f4f5 ("ACPI: bus: Split _OSC evaluation out of
acpi_run_osc()"), the _OSC evaluation path now returns AE_ERROR to
negotiate_os_control() instead of propagating AE_NOT_FOUND from
acpi_evaluate_object().

This has not caused any functional issues so far, but it produces
additional misleading messages for non-PCIe host bridges without _OSC on
some Intel servers:

    kernel: ACPI: Enabled 2 GPEs in block 00 to 7F
    kernel: ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [UNC0] (domain 0000 [bus fe])
    kernel: acpi PNP0A03:00: _OSC: OS supports [ExtendedConfig ASPM ClockPM Segments MSI EDR HPX-Type3]
  + kernel: acpi PNP0A03:00: _OSC: OS requested [PCIeHotplug SHPCHotplug PME AER PCIeCapability LTR DPC]
  + kernel: acpi PNP0A03:00: _OSC: platform willing to grant [PCIeHotplug SHPCHotplug PME AER PCIeCapability LTR DPC]
  + kernel: acpi PNP0A03:00: _OSC: platform retains control of PCIe features (AE_ERROR)
    kernel: PCI host bridge to bus 0000:fe

Previously, negotiate_os_control() silently ignored AE_NOT_FOUND for
non-PCIe host bridges without _OSC, but after the above change, it no
longer does so.

As a result, negotiate_os_control() logs messages as if the OS had
negotiated with the platform via _OSC, even though the non-PCIe host
bridge has no _OSC method and no such negotiation actually occurs.

Skip _OSC negotiation for non-PCIe host bridges that do not define an
_OSC method before attempting to evaluate it.

- Updated the debug message and the comment.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/[email protected]/
