[PATCH] ACPI: dock: Don't eval _STA on every show_docked sysfs read

[Holger Macht <hmacht@suse.de>]

Some devices trigger a DEVICE_CHECK on every evalutation of _STA. This
can also be seen in commit 8b59560a3baf2e7c24e0fb92ea5d09eca92805db
(ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method).  If an undock is processed, the
dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked
property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular
device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again.

In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean
that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure.
