ACPICA: ACPICA: check null return of ACPIALLOCATEZEROED in acpidbdisplayobjects

ACPICA commit 0d5f467d6a0ba852ea3aad68663cbcbd43300fd4

ACPIALLOCATEZEROED may fails, objectinfo might be null and will cause null pointer dereference later.

ACPICA: Add AMLNOOPERANDRESOLVE flag to Timer

ACPICA commit 90310989a0790032f5a0140741ff09b545af4bc5

According to the ACPI specification 19.6.134, no argument is required to be passed for ASL Timer instruction. For taking care of no argument, AMLNOOPERANDRESOLVE flag is added to ASL Timer instruction opcode.

When ASL timer instruction interpreted by ACPI interpreter, getting error. After adding AMLNOOPERANDRESOLVE flag to ASL Timer instruction opcode, issue is not observed.

ACPICA: Avoid undefined behavior: applying zero offset to null pointer

ACPICA commit 770653e3ba67c30a629ca7d12e352d83c2541b1e

Before this change we see the following UBSAN stack trace in Fuchsia:

Add a simple check that avoids incrementing a pointer by zero, but otherwise behaves as before. Note that our findings are against ACPICA 20221020, but the same code exists on master.
