[PATCH v2] ACPI: scan: Avoid registering platform devices with resource overlaps

If acpi_dev_get_resources() returns overlapping I/O or memory resources,
the subsequent registration of a platform device will fail with -EBUSY
due to a resource conflict.  This is reported to happen on Acer Aspire
ES1-572 [1].

Avoid that by adjusting resources returned by acpi_dev_get_resources()
to eliminate partial overlaps between them.

This has not been regarded as necessary before because putting
overlapping resources into the _CRS of one device is really pointless,
but now that the issue has been reported to actually happen in the
field, it needs to be done.

v1 -> v2:
   * Add the expanded resource instead of and not in addition to the other
     overlapping one (Sashiko)
