Subject: [14/74] ACPI: fix OSC regression that caused aer and pciehp not to load

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@...el.com>

commit 9dc130fccb874f2959ef313d7922d306dc6d4f75 upstream.

Executing _OSC returns a buffer, which has an acpi object in it.
Don't directly returns the buffer, instead, we return the acpi object's
buffer. This fixes a regression since caller of acpi_run_osc expects
an acpi object's buffer returned.
