[PATCH] ACPI / ACPICA: Avoid crashing if _PRW is defined for the root object

[PATCH] ACPI / ACPICA: Avoid crashing if _PRW is defined for the root object

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>

Some ACPI BIOSes define _PRW for the root object which causes
acpi_setup_gpe_for_wake() to crash when trying to dereference the
bogus device_node pointer.  Avoid the crash by checking if
wake_device is not the root object before attempting to set up the
"implicit notify" mechanism for it.
