ACPI / scan: Do not try to attach scan handlers to devices having them



In acpi_bus_device_attach(), if there is an ACPI device object
for the given handle and that device object has a scan handler
attached to it already, there's nothing more to do for that handle.
Moreover, if acpi_scan_attach_handler() is called then, it may
execute the .attach() callback of the ACPI scan handler already
attached to the device object and that may lead to interesting
breakage.

For this reason, make acpi_bus_device_attach() return success
immediately when the handle's device object has a scan handler
attached to it.
