Subject: [PATCH -v2 4/5] 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.

v2:

- Fix error messages for APEI resources management
