If a battery hook is added to a battery, userspace software is not informed that the available properties of the battery might have changed. This for example causes upower to react slowly if a new battery hook is added during runtime. Fix this by calling power_supply_changed() if a battery hook was successfully added/removed. Tested on a Dell Inspiron 3505.
