Pull ACPI and power management fixes from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These are regression fixes (ACPI hotplug, cpufreq, hibernation, ACPI
  LPSS driver), fixes for stuff that never worked correctly (ACPI GPIO
  support in some cases and a wrong sign of an error code in the ACPI
  core in one place), and one blacklist item for ACPI backlight
  handling.

  Specifics:

   - Revert of a recent hibernation core commit that introduced a NULL
     pointer dereference during resume for at least one user (Rafael J
     Wysocki).

   - Fix for the ACPI LPSS (Low-Power Subsystem) driver to disable
     asynchronous PM callback execution for LPSS devices during system
     suspend/resume (introduced in 3.16) which turns out to break
     ordering expectations on some systems.  From Fu Zhonghui.

   - cpufreq core fix related to the handling of sysfs nodes during
     system suspend/resume that has been broken for intel_pstate since
     3.15 from Lan Tianyu.

   - Restore the generation of "online" uevents for ACPI container
     devices that was removed in 3.14, but some user space utilities
     turn out to need them (Rafael J Wysocki).

   - The cpufreq core fails to release a lock in an error code path
     after changes made in 3.14.  Fix from Prarit Bhargava.

   - ACPICA and ACPI/GPIO fixes to make the handling of ACPI GPIO
     operation regions (which means AML using GPIOs) work correctly in
     all cases from Bob Moore and Srinivas Pandruvada.

   - Fix for a wrong sign of the ACPI core's create_modalias() return
     value in case of an error from Mika Westerberg.

   - ACPI backlight blacklist entry for ThinkPad X201s from Aaron Lu"
