ACPICA: Tables: Fix hidden logic related to acpi_tb_install_standard_table()

There is a hidden logic for acpi_tb_install_standard_table() as it can be
invoked from the boot stage and during runtime.

 1. When it is invoked from the OS boot stage, the ACPICA mutex may not have
    been initialized yet and so acpi_ut_acquire_mutex()/acpi_ut_release_mutex()
    are not invoked in these code paths:

   acpi_initialize_tables
     acpi_tb_parse_root_table
       acpi_tb_install_standard_table (4 invocations)
   acpi_install_table
       acpi_tb_install_standard_table

 2. When it is invoked during the runtime, ACPICA mutex is used as
    appropriate:

   acpi_ex_load_op
     acpi_tb_install_and_load_table
       acpi_tb_install_standard_table
   acpi_load_table
     acpi_tb_install_and_load_table
       acpi_tb_install_standard_table

The mutex is now used in acpi_tb_install_and_load_table(), while it actually
should be in acpi_tb_install_standard_table().

This introduces another problem in acpi_tb_install_st...
