vmgenid: emit uevent when VMGENID updates
We receive an ACPI notification every time the VM Generation ID changes and use the new ID as fresh randomness added to the entropy pool. This commits emits a uevent every time we receive the ACPI notification, as a means to notify the user space that it now is in a new VM.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
