ACPI: fix a deadlock in hotplug case

we used to run the hotplug code in keventd_wq.
But when hot removing the ACPI battery device,
power_supply_unregister invokes flush_scheduled_work.
This causes a deadlock. i.e
1. When dock is unplugged, all the hotplug code is run on kevent_wq.
2. the hotplug code removes all the child devices of dock device.
3. removing the child device may invoke flush_scheduled_work
4. flush_scheduled_work waits until all the work on kevent_wq to be
   finished, while this will never be true because the hotplug code
   is running on keventd_wq...

Introduce a new workqueue for hotplug in this patch.
