A note here...
When the acpi hotplug job is scheduled success, the adev device can not
be put because acpi_device_hotplug() will put it until hotplug routine
finished.

drivers/acpi/bus.c  acpi_bus_notify()
                    acpi_bus_get_acpi_device(handle) //get here
    drivers/acpi/osl.c  acpi_hotplug_schedule()
        drivers/acpi/osl.c  acpi_hotplug_work_fn()
            drivers/acpi/scan.c  acpi_device_hotplug()
                                 acpi_bus_put_acpi_device(adev) //put here

So, do you mean like this?

        -       if (hotplug_event && ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_hotplug_schedule(adev, 
type)))
        -               return;
        +       if (hotplug_event) {
        +               if (ACPI_SUCCESS(acpi_hotplug_schedule(adev, type))) 
        +                       return;
        +               else
        +                       goto err_put_device;
        +       }

                acpi_bus_put_acpi_device(adev);
                return;

        +err_put_device:
        +       acpi_bus_put_acpi_device(adev);
         err:
                acpi_evaluate_ost(handle, type, ost_code, NULL);
        }

Thanks for your suggestion, it looks simpler.
