Subject: ACPI: reboot: Avoid racing after writing to ACPI RESET_REG
Patch-mainline: v5.10-rc1
Git-commit: 9a4888888cc09b0ff3d0a1dd32df88742d29a293
References: jsc#SLE-16407

According to the ACPI spec, "The system must reset immediately following
the write to the ACPI RESET_REG register.", but there are cases that the
system does not follow this and results in racing with the subsequetial
reboot mechanism, which brings unexpected behavior.

Fix this by adding a 15ms delay after writing to the ACPI RESET_REG.
