4.17-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

commit 460a53106ac39b74625d1104d9a113e0f3716c18 upstream.
Previous change in the AML parser code blindly set all non-successful dispatcher statuses to AE_OK. That approach is incorrect, though, because successful control method invocations from module-level return AE_CTRL_TRANSFER. Overwriting AE_OK to this status causes the AML parser to think that there was no return value from the control method invocation.
