Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 145/180] ACPI / scan: Annotate physical_node_lock in acpi_scan_is_offline()

3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki@...el.com>

commit 4c533c801d1c9b5c38458a0e7516e0cf50643782 upstream.

acpi_scan_is_offline() may be called under the physical_node_lock
lock of the given device object's parent, so prevent lockdep from
complaining about that by annotating that instance with
SINGLE_DEPTH_NESTING.

Fixes: caa73ea158de (ACPI / hotplug / driver core: Handle containers in a special way)
