Subject: [PATCH 4.19 030/361] mailbox: PCC: handle parse error

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

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

From: David Arcari <darcari@...hat.com>

commit afd0b1fb22269f48d68fdf269891c653818c8047 upstream.

acpi_pcc_probe() calls acpi_table_parse_entries_array() but fails
to check for an error return.  This in turn can result in calling
kcalloc() with a negative count as well as emitting the following
misleading erorr message:

[    2.642015] Could not allocate space for PCC mbox channels
