ACPI: allow longer device IDs

We create a list of ACPI "PNP" IDs which contains _HID, _CID, and CLS
entries of the respective devices. However, when making structs for
matching, we squeeze those IDs into acpi_device_id, which only has 9
bytes space to store the identifier. The subsystem actually captures the
full length of the IDs, and the modalias has the full length, but this
struct we use for matching is limited. It originally had 16 bytes, but
was changed to only have 9 in 6543becf26ff ("mod/file2alias: make
modalias generation safe for cross compiling"), presumably on the theory
that it would match the ACPI spec so it didn't matter.

Unfortunately, while most people adhere to the ACPI specs, Microsoft
decided that its VM Generation Counter device [1] should only be
identifiable by _CID with a value of "VM_Gen_Counter", which is longer
than 9 characters.

To allow device drivers to match identifiers that exceed the 9 byte
limit, this simply ups the length to 16, just like it was before the
aforementioned commit. Empirical testing indicates that this
doesn't actually increase vmlinux size on 64-bit, because the ulong in
the same struct caused there to be 7 bytes of padding anyway, and when
doing a s/M/Y/g i386_defconfig build, the bzImage only increased by
0.0055%, so negligible.

This patch is a prerequisite to add support for VMGenID in Linux, the
subsequent patch in this series. It has been confirmed to also work on
the udev/modalias side in userspace.
