Subject: [PATCH v4 4/4] ACPI: Fix memory mapping leaks in current sysfs dumpable ACPI tables support

This patch adds acpi_put_table() to make all acpi_get_table() clone
invocations balanced for sysfs ACPI table dump code.

Since Linux does not use all of the tables, this can help to reduce some
usless memory mappings.

While originally, all tables will be remained to be mapped after a
userspace acpidump execution, potentially causing problem on server
platforms. With the new APIs, it is possible to release such useless table
mappings.
