Subject: [PATCH 4.11 056/115] ACPI / sysfs: fix acpi_get_table() leak / acpi-sysfs denial of service

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

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

From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@...el.com>

commit 0de0e198bc7191a0e46cf71f66fec4d07ca91396 upstream.

Reading an ACPI table through the /sys/firmware/acpi/tables interface
more than 65,536 times leads to the following log message:

 ACPI Error: Table ffff88033595eaa8, Validation count is zero after increment
  (20170119/tbutils-423)

...and the table being unavailable until the next reboot. Add the
missing acpi_put_table() so the table ->validation_count is decremented
after each read.

Fixes: 174cc7187e6f "ACPICA: Tables: Back port acpi_get_table_with_size() ..."
