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.
