From: Tristan Madani <tristan@talencesecurity.com>

acer_gsensor_event() accesses the ACPI evaluation result as a package
without first verifying the object type.  If the firmware returns a
non-package type, the code reads package.count and package.elements
from the wrong union member, which can cause a NULL pointer
dereference or read from an invalid address.

Add a type check for ACPI_TYPE_PACKAGE before accessing the package
fields, and validate that each element is ACPI_TYPE_INTEGER before
reading integer.value.
