From: "Rafael J. Wysocki" <rafael.j.wysocki at intel.com>
Replace acpi_get_first_physical_node() that is slated for removal
with acpi_bus_get_primary_device() that takes a reference to the
device it is about to return.
This addresses a potential use-after-free that may occur if the
device returned by acpi_get_first_physical_node() is removed right
after dropping its ACPI companion's physical_node_lock in that
function.
