hotplug notification handler and drivers' notification handler are all running in one workqueue. Before hotplug removes an acpi device, the device driver's notification handler is already be recorded to run just after global notification handler. After hotplug notification handler runs, acpica will notice a NULL notification handler and crash. This patch runs hotplug in other workqueue and wait for all acpi notication handlers finish. This is found in battery hotplug, but actually all hotplug can be affected.
