ACPI / scan: Prevent device add uevents from racing with user space
ACPI core adds sysfs device files after the given devices have been registered with device_register(), which is not appropriate, because it may lead to race conditions with user space tools using those files. Fix the problem by delaying the KOBJ_ADD uevent for ACPI devices until after all of the devices' sysfs files have been created. This also fixes a use-after-free in acpi_device_unregister().
