ACPI: EC: Don't init EC early if it has no _INI

Option to init EC early inserted to handle #8598 ASUS problem,
introduced several others.

EC driver in this particular case has fake _INI method, not present on
other machines, which don't need or break from this workaround, so lets use
its presence as a flag for early init.
