Subject: [PATCH v3] ACPI / EC: Fix an order issue in ec_remove_handlers()

There is an order issue in ec_remove_handlers() that the functions invoked
in it are not able to handle the current restrictions (see comments below).
If ec_remove_handlers() is invoked during runtime after _REG(CONNECT) is
invoked, this issue will be uncovered.
