    ACPICA: Add support for multiple notify handlers

    This change adds support to allow multiple notify handlers on
    Device, ThermalZone, and Processor objects. Also re-worked
    and restructured the entire notify support code for handler
    installation, handler removal, notify event queuing, and notify
    dispatch to handler.

    Extends and updates original commit 3f0be67("ACPI / ACPICA: Multiple
    system notify handlers per device") by Rafael Wysocki.
