Subject: ACPI / hotplug: Check scan handlers in acpi_scan_hot_remove()
From: Tang Chen <tangchen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit dee1592638ab7ea35a32179b73f9284dead49c03 upstream.
When ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY is not configured, memory_device_handler.attach
is not set. In acpi_scan_attach_handler(), the acpi_device->handler will
not be initialized.
In acpi_scan_hot_remove(), it doesn't check if acpi_device->handler is NULL.
If we do memory hot-remove without ACPI_HOTPLUG_MEMORY configured, the kernel
will panic.
