Subject: [221/289] acpi-cpufreq: fix a memleak when unloading driver

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

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

From: Zhang Rui <rui.zhang@...el.com>

commit dab5fff14df2cd16eb1ad4c02e83915e1063fece upstream.

We didn't free per_cpu(acfreq_data, cpu)->freq_table
when acpi_freq driver is unloaded.

Resulting in the following messages in /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak:

unreferenced object 0xf6450e80 (size 64):
