ACPI / hotplug / PCI: Store acpi_device pointer in acpiphp_context
After recent modifications of the ACPI core making it create a struct acpi_device object for every namespace node representing a device regardless of the current status of that device the ACPIPHP code can store a struct acpi_device pointer instead of an ACPI handle in struct acpiphp_context. This immediately makes it possible to avoid making potentially costly calls to acpi_bus_get_device() in two places and allows some more simplifications to be made going forward. The reason why that is correct is because ACPIPHP only installs hotify handlers for namespace nodes that exist when acpiphp_enumerate_slots() is called for their parent bridge. That only happens if the parent bridge has an ACPI companion associated with it, which means that the ACPI namespace scope in question has been scanned already at that point. That, in turn, means that struct acpi_device objects have been created for all namespace nodes in that scope and pointers to those objects can be stored directly instead of their ACPI handles.
