Subject: [PATCH 3.8 133/166] ACPI / TPM: fix memory leak when walking ACPI namespace

3.8.13.16 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Jiang Liu <jiang.liu@...ux.intel.com>

commit df45c712d1f4ef37714245fb75de726f4ca2bf8d upstream.

In function ppi_callback(), memory allocated by acpi_get_name() will get
leaked when current device isn't the desired TPM device, so fix the
memory leak.
