[RFC PATCH] acpi: indicate to platform when hot remove returns busy

From: Lee, Chun-Yi

In hotplug logic, it always indicates non-specific failure to
platform through _OST when handing acpi hot-remove event failed. Then
platform terminates the hot-remove process but it can not identify
the reason.

Base on current hot-remove code, there have two situations that it
returns busy:
- OSPM try to offline an individual device, but the device offline
function returns busy.
- When the ejection event is applied to an "not offlined yet" container.
OSPM send kobject change event to userspace and returns busy.

Both of them will returns -EBUSY to acpi device hotplug function then
hotplug function indicates non-specific failure to platform just like
any other error, e.g. -ENODEV or -EIO.

The benefit to platform for identifying the OS busy state is that
platform can be applied different approach to handle the busy but
not just terminate the hot-remove process by unknow reason. For
example, platform can wait for a while then triggers hot-remove
again.

This RFC patch adds one more parameter to the handler function of
acpi generic hotplug event to give the function a chance to propose
the return code of _OST. In this case, it sets ost return code to
ACPI_OST_SC_DEVICE_BUSY when the acpi hot remove function returns
-EBUSY.
