acpi_cpu: _PDC vs _OSC

Below is the patch that I have.
_PDC is evaluated only if _OSC evaluation fails.
_OSC status returned by AML is reported if not zero.
Small changes in comments.

BTW, 'if (sc->cpu_features)' check could probably be dropped, because we
initialize cpu_features with non-zero value and then only bit-or to it.
