Subject: [PATCH 4.19 121/211] ACPI: custom_method: fix memory leaks

From: Wenwen Wang <wenwen@...uga.edu>

[ Upstream commit 03d1571d9513369c17e6848476763ebbd10ec2cb ]

In cm_write(), 'buf' is allocated through kzalloc(). In the following
execution, if an error occurs, 'buf' is not deallocated, leading to memory
leaks. To fix this issue, free 'buf' before returning the error.

Fixes: 526b4af47f44 ("ACPI: Split out custom_method functionality into an own driver")
