Subject: [PATCH -next v2] acpi/hmat: fix memory leaks in hmat_init()

The commit 665ac7e92757 ("acpi/hmat: Register processor domain to its
memory") introduced some memory leaks below due to it fails to release
the heap memory in an error path, and then those statically-allocated
__initdata memory which reference them get freed during boot renders
those heap memory as leaks. Since it is valid to pass NULL to
acpi_put_table(), it is fine to call it even if acpi_get_table() returns
an error.
