ACPICA: Fix for Alias operator to see target child objects 

Fixed a problem with the Alias operator when the target of the
alias is a named ASL operator that opens a new scope -- Scope,
Device, PowerResource, Processor, and ThermalZone. In these cases,
any children of the original operator could not be accessed via
the alias, potentially causing unexpected AE_NOT_FOUND exceptions.
