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.
