Subject: [PATCH 4.9 035/121] ACPI: EC: Reference count query handlers under lock

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

[ Upstream commit 3df663a147fe077a6ee8444ec626738946e65547 ]

There is a race condition in acpi_ec_get_query_handler()
theoretically allowing query handlers to go away before refernce
counting them.

In order to avoid it, call kref_get() on query handlers under
ec->mutex.

Also simplify the code a bit while at it.
