Rafael J. Wysocki c56610a869 ACPI: bus: Rework system-level device notification handling
For ACPI drivers that provide a ->notify() callback and set
ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS in their flags, that callback can be
invoked while either the ->add() or the ->remove() callback is running
without any synchronization at the bus type level which is counter to
the common-sense expectation that notification handling should only be
enabled when the driver is actually bound to the device.  As a result,
if the driver is not careful enough, it's ->notify() callback may crash
when it is invoked too early or too late [1].

This issue has been amplified by commit d6fb6ee182 ("ACPI: bus: Drop
driver member of struct acpi_device") that made acpi_bus_notify() check
for the presence of the driver and its ->notify() callback directly
instead of using an extra driver pointer that was only set and cleared
by the bus type code, but it was present before that commit although
it was harder to reproduce then.

It can be addressed by using the observation that
acpi_device_install_notify_handler() can be modified to install the
handler for all types of events when ACPI_DRIVER_ALL_NOTIFY_EVENTS is
set in the driver flags, in which case acpi_bus_notify() will not need
to invoke the driver's ->notify() callback any more and that callback
will only be invoked after acpi_device_install_notify_handler() has run
and before acpi_device_remove_notify_handler() runs, which implies the
correct ordering with respect to the other ACPI driver callbacks.

Modify the code accordingly and while at it, drop two redundant local
variables from acpi_bus_notify() and turn its description comment into
a proper kerneldoc one.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
