fix a deadlock issue when poking "eject" file

Browse source

"/sys/devices/LNXSYSTM:00/.../eject" is used to evaluate _EJx method
and eject a device in user space.
But system hangs when poking the "eject" file because that
the device hot-removal code invoke the driver .remove method which will
try to remove the "eject" file as a result.

Queues the hot-removal function for deferred execution in this patch.
