acpi ec_sys: Be more cautious about ec write access 



- Set Kconfig option default n
- Only allow root to read/write io file (sever bug!)
- Introduce write support module param -> default off
- Properly clean up if any debugfs files cannot be created

	  Say N to disable Embedded Controller /sys/kernel/debug interface



	  Be aware that using this interface can confuse your Embedded

	  Controller in a way that a normal reboot is not enough. You then

	  have to power of your system, and remove the laptop battery for

	  some seconds.

	  An Embedded Controller typically is available on laptops and reads

	  sensor values like battery state and temperature.

	  The kernel access the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS

	  tables.

	  The kernel accesses the EC through ACPI parsed code provided by BIOS

	  tables. This option allows to access the EC directly without ACPI

	  code being involved.

	  Thus this option is a debug option that helps to write ACPI drivers

	  and can be used to identify ACPI code or EC firmware bugs.
