ARM: ACPI: fix the AML ID format for CPU devices

Current QEMU will stall guest VM booting under ACPI mode when vcpu count
is >= 12. Analyzing the booting log, it turns out that DSDT table can't
be loaded correctly due to "Invalid character(s) in name (0x62303043),
repaired: [C00*]". This is because existing QEMU uses a lower case AML
ID for CPU devices (e.g. C000, C001, ..., C00a, C00b). The ACPI code
inside guest VM detects this lower case character as an invalid character
(see acpi_ut_valid_acpi_char() in drivers/acpi/acpica/utstring.c file)
and converts it to "*". This causes duplicated IDs (i.e. "C00a" ==>"C00*"
and "C00b" ==> "C00*"). So ACPI refuses to load the table.

This patch fixes the problem by changing the format with a upper case
character. It matches the CPU ID formats used in other parts of QEMU
code.
