On some convertibles the lid-flip devstate sets ASUS_WMI_DSTS_UNKNOWN_BIT
alongside the state bit while the machine is folded. Measured on an ASUS
ProArt PX13 (HN7306EAC), ASUS_WMI_DEVID_LID_FLIP_ROG answers 0x00010000
open and 0x00010003 folded, that is presence | status | UNKNOWN.

asus_wmi_get_devstate_simple() treats that bit as "the state is not known"
and fails the call with -ENODEV, so asus_wmi_tablet_mode_get_state()
discards a perfectly good state sitting in bit 0 and SW_TABLET_MODE never
moves.

Add asus_wmi_tablet_sw_get_state(), which gates on the presence bit only
and returns the status bit. Use it from the two tablet-switch paths. Every
other caller of asus_wmi_get_devstate_simple() is untouched, so the change
is confined to the tablet switch.
