ACPICA: Add function to dereference returned reference objects
Examines the return object from a call to acpi_evaluate_object.
Any Index or RefOf references are automatically dereferenced in
an attempt to return something useful (these reference types
cannot be converted into an external ACPI_OBJECT.)
