powerpc/opal_elog: Handle multiple writes to ack attribute
Even though we use self removing sysfs helper, we still need to make sure we do the final kobject delete conditionally. sysfs_remove_file_self() will handle parallel calls to remove the sysfs attribute file and returns true only in the caller that removed the attribute file. The other parallel callers are returned false. Do the final kobject delete checking the return value of sysfs_remove_file_self().
