ACPI driver should make sure all the processor IDs in their ACPI Namespace
are unique for CPU hotplug. the driver performs a depth-first walk of the
namespace tree and calls the acpi_processor_ids_walk().

But, the acpi_processor_ids_walk() will return true if one processor is
checked, that cause the walk break after walking pass the first processor.

Repace the value with AE_OK which is the standard acpi_status value.

Fixes 8c8cb30f49b8 ("acpi/processor: Implement DEVICE operator for processor enumeration")

I'm not sure whether this is the right return value here. Rafael?

Hi, Thomas, Rafael,

Yes, I used AE_OK to make sure it can skip the invalid objects and
continue to do the following other objects, I'm also not sure.

For this bug, recently, I sent another patch to remove this check code
away.

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/17/320

IMO, the duplicate IDs can be avoid by the other code

    if (invalid_logical_cpuid(pr->id) || !cpu_present(pr->id)) ---- 1)

As the mapping of cpu_id(pr->id) and processor_id is fixed, when
hot-plugging a physical CPU, if its processor_id is duplicated with the
present, the above condition 1) will be 0, and Linux will do not add
this CPU.

And, when every time the system starts, this code will be executed, it
will waste more time with the increase in the number of CPU.

So I prefer to remove this code.

Thanks,
	dou
