The ACPI /proc write() code takes an unsigned length argument like any write()
function, but then assigned it to a *signed* integer called "len".
Only after this is a sanity check for len done to make it not larger than 4.
Due to the type change a len < 0 is in principle also possible; this patch
adds a check for this.

Convert acpi_device_lock to a mutex to avoid
a potential race upon access to /proc/acpi/wakeup
Delete the lock entirely in wakeup.c
since it is not necessary (and can not sleep)

This patch makes acpi_init() call acpi_sleep_proc_init() directly.
Previously, acpi_sleep_proc_init() was a late_initcall (sequence 7),
apparently to make sure that the /proc hierarchy already exists:

acpi sleep: demote sleep proc file creation.
- Make acpi_sleep_proc_init() a late_initcall(), and not called from
acpi_sleep_init(). This guarantees that the acpi proc hierarchy is at
least there when we create the dang file.
This should no longer be an issue because acpi_bus_init() (called early
in acpi_init()) creates acpi_root_dir (/proc/acpi).
