ACPI / fan: Fix error reading cur_state
On some platforms with ACPI4 variable speed fan, reading cur_state from cooling device returns "invalid value" error. This confuses user space applications. This issue occurs as the current driver doesn't take account of "FineGrainControl" from _FIF(Fan Information). When the "FineGrainControl" is set, _FSL(FSL Set Level) takes argument as a percent, which doesn't have to match from any control value from _FPS(Fan Performance States). It is also possible that the Fan is not actually running at the requested speed returning a lower speed. On some platforms the BIOS is setting fan speed to a level during boot, which will not have an exact match to _FPS control values. The current implementation will treat this level as invalid value. The simple change is to atleast return state corresponding to a maximum control value in the _FPS compared to the current level.
