hwmon: (acpi_power_meter) Fix lockdep splat
Damien Le Moal reports a lockdep splat with the acpi_power_meter,
observed with Linux v5.5 and later.

Problem is that reading an attribute takes the kernfs lock in the kernfs
code, then resource->lock in the driver. During an ACPI notification, the
opposite happens: The resource lock is taken first, followed by the kernfs
lock when sysfs attributes are removed and re-created. Presumably this is
now seen due to some locking related changes in kernfs after v5.4, but it
was likely always a problem.
Fix the problem by not blindly acquiring the lock in the notification
function. It is only needed to protect the various update functions.
However, those update functions are called anyway when sysfs attributes
are read. This means that we can just stop calling those functions from
the notifier, and the resource lock in the notifier function is no longer
needed.
That leaves two situations:
First, METER_NOTIFY_CONFIG removes and re-allocates capability strings.
While it did so under the resource lock, _displaying_ those strings was not
protected, creating a race condition. To solve this problem, selectively
protect both removal/creation and reporting of capability attributes with
the resource lock.
Second, removing and re-creating the attribute files is no longer protected
by the resource lock. That doesn't matter since access to each individual
attribute is protected by the kernfs lock. Userspace may get messed up if
attributes disappear and reappear under its nose, but that is not different
than today, and there is nothing we can do about it without major driver
restructuring.
Last but not least, when removing the driver, remove attribute functions
first, then release capability strings. This avoids yet another race
condition.
