x86/ACPI: Preserve ACPI-table override during hibernation

When overriding NHLT ACPI-table tests show that on some platforms
there is problem that NHLT contains garbage after hibernation/resume
cycle.

Problem stems from the fact that ACPI override performs early memory
allocation using memblock_phys_alloc_range() in
memblock_phys_alloc_range(). This memory block is later being marked as
ACPI memory block in arch_reserve_mem_area(). Later when memory areas
are considered for hibernation it is being marked as nosave in
e820__register_nosave_regions().

Fix this by marking ACPI override memory area as ACPI NVS
(Non-Volatile-Sleeping), which according to specification needs to be
saved on entering S4 and restored when leaving and is implemented as
such in kernel.
