ACPI: Run fixed event device notifications in process context Currently, notify callbacks for fixed button events are run from interrupt context. That is not necessary and after commit 0bf6368ee8f2 (ACPI / button: Add ACPI Button event via netlink routine) it causes netlink routines to be called from interrupt context which is not correct. Also, that is different from non-fixed device events (including non-fixed button events) whose notify callbacks are all executed from process context. For the above reasons, make fixed button device notify callbacks run in process context which will avoid the deadlock when using netlink to report button events to user space.
