If a PCI bridge with an ACPIPHP context attached is removed via
sysfs, the code path executed as a result is the following:

pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked
 pci_remove_bus
  pcibios_remove_bus
   acpi_pci_remove_bus
    acpiphp_remove_slots
     cleanup_bridge
      unregister_hotplug_dock_device (drops dock references to the bridge)
     put_bridge
      free_bridge
       acpiphp_put_context (for each child, under context lock)
        kfree (context)

Now, if a dock event affecting one of the bridge's child devices
occurs (roughly at the same time), it will lead to the following code
path:

acpi_dock_deferred_cb
 dock_notify
  handle_eject_request
   hot_remove_dock_devices
    dock_hotplug_event
     hotplug_event (dereferences context)

That may lead to a kernel crash in hotplug_event() if it is executed
after the last kfree() in the bridge removal code path.

To prevent that from happening, add a wrapper around hotplug_event()
called dock_event() and point the .handler pointer in acpiphp_dock_ops
to it.  Make that wrapper retrieve the device's ACPIPHP context using
acpiphp_get_context() (instead of taking it from the data argument)
under acpiphp_context_lock and check if the parent bridge's
is_going_away flag is set.  If that flag is set, it will return
immediately and if it is not set it will grab a reference to the
device's parent bridge before executing hotplug_event().

Then, in the above scenario, the reference to the parent bridge
held by dock_event() will prevent free_bridge() from being executed
for it until hotplug_event() returns.
