ACPI: Fix possible recursive locking in hwregs.c
Calling pm-suspend might trigger a recursive lock in it's code path. In function acpi_hw_clear_acpi_status, acpi_os_acquire_lock holds the lock acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_hw_register_write(), then without releasing acpi_gbl_hardware_lock, this function calls acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list, which tries to hold acpi_gbl_gpe_lock. Both acpi_gbl_hardware_lock and acpi_gbl_gpe_lock are at same lock-class and which might cause lock recursion deadlock. Following patch fixes this scenario by just releasing acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list. Changes since v0(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/355): - Fix changelog, thanks to Lin Ming. Changes since v1 (https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/3/89): - Update changelog and rename goto label, courtesy Srivatsa S. Bhat.
