fix a deadlock issue when poking "eject" file
"/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/.../eject" is used to evaluate _EJx method and eject a device in user space. But system hangs when poking the "eject" file because that the device hot-removal code invoke the driver .remove method which will try to remove the "eject" file as a result. Queues the hot-removal function for deferred execution in this patch. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9772 Signed-off-by: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com>
