platform/x86: acer-wmi: Fix setting of fan behavior

Browse source

After studying the linuwu_sense driver
(https://github.com/0x7375646F/Linuwu-Sense) i was able to understand
the meaning of the SetGamingFanBehavior() WMI method:

- the first 16-bit are a bitmap of all fans affected by a fan behavior
  change request.

- the next 8 bits contain four fan mode fields (2-bit), each being
  associated with a bit inside the fan bitmap.

There are three fan modes: auto, turbo and custom.

Use this newfound knowledge to fix the turbo fan handling by setting
the correct bits before calling SetGamingFanBehavior(). Also check
the result of the WMI method call and return an error should the ACPI
firmware signal failure.
