[PATCH -v1] acpi: Fix possible recursive locking in hwregs.c

[Rakib Mullick <rakib.mullick@gmail.com>]

Calling pm-suspend might trigger a recursive lock in it's code path. In function acpi_hw_clear_acpi_status, 
acpi_os_acquire_lock holds the lock acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_hw_register_write(), then 
without releasing acpi_gbl_hardware_lock, this function calls acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list, which tries to hold 
acpi_gbl_gpe_lock and thus might causes possible recursive lock.

Following patch fixes this scenario by just releasing acpi_gbl_hardware_lock before calling acpi_ev_walk_gpe_list.

 Changes since v0(https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/9/21/355):
