Subject: [PATCH] ACPI hotplug: Fix panic on eject to ejected device

When an eject request is sent to an ejected ACPI device, the following
panic occurs:

 ACPI: \_SB_.SCK3.CPU3: ACPI_NOTIFY_EJECT_REQUEST event
 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000070
 IP: [<ffffffff813a7cfe>] acpi_device_hotplug+0x10b/0x33b
	:
 Call Trace:
 [<ffffffff813a24da>] acpi_hotplug_work_fn+0x1c/0x27
 [<ffffffff8109cbe5>] process_one_work+0x175/0x430
 [<ffffffff8109d7db>] worker_thread+0x11b/0x3a0

This is becase device->handler is NULL in acpi_device_hotplug().
This case was used to fail in acpi_hotplug_notify_cb() as the target
had no acpi_deivce.  However, acpi_device now exists after ejection.

Added a check to verify if acpi_device->handler is valid for an
eject request in acpi_hotplug_notify_cb().  Note that handler passed
from an argument is still valid while acpi_device->handler is NULL.
