ACPI: Add .setup() and .cleanup() callbacks to struct acpi_bus_type



Add two new callbacks,.setup() and .cleanup(), struct acpi_bus_type
and modify acpi_platform_notify() to call .setup() after executing
acpi_bind_one() successfully and acpi_platform_notify_remove() to
call .cleanup() before running acpi_unbind_one().  This will allow
the users of struct acpi_bus_type, PCI in particular, to specify
operations to be executed right after the given device has been
associated with a companion struct acpi_device and right before
it's going to be detached from that companion, respectively.

The main motivation is to be able to get rid of acpi_pci_bind()
and acpi_pci_unbind(), which are horrible horrible stuff.  [In short,
there are three problems with them: The way they populate the .bind()
and .unbind() callbacks of ACPI devices is rather less than
straightforward, they require special hotplug-specific paths to be
present in the ACPI namespace scanning code and by the time
acpi_pci_unbind() is called the PCI device object in question may
not exist any more.]
