In general, acpi_bus_attach() can only be run safely under acpi_scan_lock, but that lock cannot be acquired under acpi_dep_list_lock, so make acpi_scan_clear_dep() schedule deferred execution of acpi_bus_attach() under acpi_scan_lock instead of calling it directly. This also fixes a possible race between acpi_scan_clear_dep() and device removal that might cause a device object that went away to be accessed, because acpi_scan_clear_dep() is changed to acquire a reference on the consumer device object.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
