ACPI: acpi_bus_{scan,bus,add}: return -ENODEV if no device was found
Callers (acpi_memhotplug.c, dock.c and others) check for the return value of acpi_bus_add() and assume a valid device was returned in case zero was returned. Thus return -ENODEV if no device was found in acpi_bus_scan and propagate this through acpi_bus_add and acpi_bus_start. Also remove a confusing comment in acpiphp_glue.c, acpi_bus_scan will and cannot invoke if acpi_bus_add returns no valid device.
