ACPI / scan: not cache _SUN value in struct acpi_device_pnp

The _SUN device indentification object is not guaranteed to return the same value every time it is executed, so we should not cache its return value, but rather execute it every time as needed. If it is cached, an incorrect stale value may be used in some situations. This issue was exposed by commit 202317a (ACPI / scan: Add acpi_device objects for all device nodes in the namespace). Fix it by avoiding to cache the return value of _SUN.
