On HP Pavilion dv6-6179er there are no notifications when AC adapter
is plugged/unplugged.

Output of acpi_listen, adapter is unplugged and then plugged in back:

battery PNP0C0A:00 00000001 00000001
battery PNP0C0A:00 00000080 00000001
 PNP0C14:00 00000080 00000000
processor LNXCPU:00 00000082 00000000
battery PNP0C0A:00 00000000 00000001
battery PNP0C0A:00 00000080 00000001
 PNP0C14:00 00000080 00000000
processor LNXCPU:00 00000082 00000000
battery PNP0C0A:00 00000080 00000001

The only way to trigger the notification is to read "online"
property in sysfs (/sys/class/power_supply/AC/online).

This patch triggers the notification by calling get_property for
every mains power supply.

Output of acpi_listen with this patch applied:

battery PNP0C0A:00 00000001 00000001
battery PNP0C0A:00 00000080 00000001

processor LNXCPU:00 00000082 00000000
battery PNP0C0A:00 00000080 00000001

I'm using this patch for about a month, and didn't notice any
problems. I've tested it on top of both 3.13.5 and 3.14-rc4.
