[PATCH 1/2] Drivers: base: core: Export functions to lock/unlock device hotplug lock

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

The Hyper-V balloon driver does memory hot-add. The device_hotplug_lock
is designed to address AB BA deadlock issues between the hot-add path
and the sysfs path. Export the APIs to acquire and release the
device_hotplug_lock for use by loadable modules that want to
hot-add memory or CPU.
