Since acpi_device_hotplug() assumes that ACPI handles of device
objects passed to it will not become invalid while acpi_scan_lock
is being held, make acpiphp_disable_slot() acquire acpi_scan_lock,
because it generally causes _EJ0 to be executed for one of the
devices in the slot and that may cause its ACPI handle to become
invalid.

Hi All,
This change is not necessary in 3.14-rc (it wouldn't hurt, though), but it
closes a (mostly theoretical) race on top of the changes I've queued up for
3.15 in linux-next.
Thanks,
Rafael
