Subject: [PATCH v1] ACPI / scan: Acquire device_hotplug_lock in acpi_scan_init()

We end up calling __add_memory() without the device hotplug lock held.
(I used a local patch to assert in __add_memory() that the
 device_hotplug_lock is held - I might upstream that as well soon)

[   26.772952]        add_memory_resource+0xde/0x200
[   26.773987]        __add_memory+0x6e/0xa0
[   26.775161]        acpi_memory_device_add+0x149/0x2b0
[   26.776263]        acpi_bus_attach+0xf1/0x1f0
[   26.777247]        acpi_bus_attach+0x66/0x1f0
[   26.778268]        acpi_bus_attach+0x66/0x1f0
[   26.779073]        acpi_bus_attach+0x66/0x1f0
[   26.780143]        acpi_bus_scan+0x3e/0x90
[   26.780844]        acpi_scan_init+0x109/0x257
[   26.781638]        acpi_init+0x2ab/0x30d
[   26.782248]        do_one_initcall+0x58/0x2cf
[   26.783181]        kernel_init_freeable+0x1bd/0x247
[   26.784345]        kernel_init+0x5/0xf1
[   26.785314]        ret_from_fork+0x3a/0x50

So perform the locking just like in acpi_device_hotplug().
