Subject: [ 34/95] ACPI / dock: Take ACPI scan lock in write_undock()

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

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

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

commit 8112006f41fd76ddf4988f8ddd904563db85613c upstream.

Since commit 3757b94 (ACPI / hotplug: Fix concurrency issues and
memory leaks) acpi_bus_scan() and acpi_bus_trim() must always be
called under acpi_scan_lock, but currently the following scenario
violating that requirement is possible:

 write_undock()
  handle_eject_request()
   hotplug_dock_devices()
    dock_remove_acpi_device()
     acpi_bus_trim()

Fix that by making write_undock() acquire acpi_scan_lock before
calling handle_eject_request() as appropriate (begin_undock() is
under the lock too in analogy with acpi_dock_deferred_cb()).
