History: This support changes a method to "serialized" on the fly if the
method generates an AE_ALREADY_EXISTS error, indicating the possibility
that it cannot handle reentrancy.
This fix repairs a couple of issues seen in the field, especially on
machines with many cores.
1) Delete method children only upon the exit of the last thread, so
as to not delete objects out from under running threads.
2) Set the "serialized" bit for the method only upon the exit of the
last thread, so as to not cause deadlock when running threads attempt
to exit.
3) Cleanup the use of the AML "MethodFlags" and internal method flags
so that there is no longer any confustion between the two.

Fixes a race condition between method execution and namespace
walks that can possibly fault. Problem was apparently introduced
in version 20100528 as a result of a performance optimization
that reduces the number of namespace walks upon method exit
by using the delete_namespace_subtree function instead of the
delete_namespace_by_owner function used previously. Bug is in
the delete_namespace_subtree function.

On control method exit, only walk the namespace if the method is
known to have created namespace objects outside of its local scope.

This change enhances the performance of namespace searches and
walks by adding a backpointer to the parent in each namespace
node. On large namespaces, this change can improve overall ACPI
performance by up to 9X. Adding a pointer to each namespace node
increases the overall size of the internal namespace by about 5%,
since each namespace entry usually consists of both a namespace
node and an ACPI operand object.

Handler was never invoked. Now invoked if/when host node is deleted.
Data object was not automatically deleted when host node was deleted.
Interface to handler had an unused parameter, removed it.
