eeepc-laptop: fix ordering of init and exit functions
1. input and backlight devices were registered after acpi notifications
are enabled. This left a window where eeepc_hotk_notify() might
find these devices in an inconsistent (half-initialized) state.
-> Move all device registration into eeepc_hotk_add(), which is called
before enabling acpi notifications.
2. input and backlight devices were unregistered before acpi
notifications are disabled. This left a window where
eeepc_hotk_notify() might find these devices in an inconsistent
(half-destroyed) state.
-> Move all device unregistration into eeepc_hotk_remove(), which is
called after disabling acpi notifications.
3. The acpi driver was not freed if an error occured further down in
eeepc_laptop_init().
-> The rest of eeepc_laptop_init() has been moved to eeepc_hotk_add(),
so this is no longer a problem.
4. The acpi driver was unregistered before the platform driver. This
left a window where a sysfs access could attempt to read the ehotk
structure after it had been freed by eeepc_hotk_remove().
-> The acpi driver is now unregistered as the last step in
eeepc_laptop_exit(), so this is no longer a problem.
