[PATCH 36/42] ACPICA: Events: Fix an issue that region object is re-attached to another scope when it is already attached

[Lv Zheng]

ACPICA commit 6ebcb24d3225b6c7715a3ce061c327b4c3a6b76e

The logic in acpi_ev_attach_region() is not correct, it can break address
space handler link. This patch fixes this problem. But be aware that this
fix must be applied along with a region object race issue fix. Lv Zheng.
