Subject: [BUGFIX for 2.6.36] ACPI, APEI, Fix error path for memory
 allocation

In ERST debug/test support patch, a dynamic allocated buffer is
used. The may-failed memory allocation should be tried firstly before
free the previous buffer.

APEI resource management memory allocation related error path is fixed
too.
