Subject: [PATCH 34/97] x86/amd-iommu: Fix initialization failure panic

From: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@....com>

commit 0f764806438d5576ac58898332e5dcf30bb8a679 upstream.

The assumption that acpi_table_parse passes the return value
of the hanlder function to the caller proved wrong
recently. The return value of the handler function is
totally ignored. This makes the initialization code for AMD
IOMMU buggy in a way that could cause a kernel panic on
initialization. This patch fixes the issue in the AMD IOMMU
driver.
