[SRU Justification][Trusty]

fwts segfaults because the ASPM test on this machine is returning no
ACPI tables and the test is not checking for a NULL table and hence
dereferencing it causing the segfault   While debugging this I also
noticed that if /dev/mem is not available then two /dev/mem mmaps may
also cause a segfault, so I've added fixes for this too.

[Fix]
Upstream fix 9992dcca169282ab967177cc8bdac94eee66c93

[Testcase]
Run fwts on a system without ACPI tables. Will segfault. With the fix, it runs 
w/o a segfault
