Subject: acpi_battery_add(): use-after-free

The Coverity checker spotted the following use-after-free in 
acpi_battery_add():

<--  snip  -->

...
static int acpi_battery_add(struct acpi_device *device)
{
...
        if (result) {
                acpi_battery_remove_fs(device);
                kfree(battery);
        }

        mutex_unlock(&battery->mutex);
...

<--  snip  -->

       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
