commit 627ead724eff33673597216f5020b72118827de4 upstream.

In i2c_acpi_remove_space_handler(), a leak occurs whenever the
"data" parameter is initialized to 0 before being passed to
acpi_bus_get_private_data().

This is because the NULL pointer check in acpi_bus_get_private_data()
(condition->if(!*data)) returns EINVAL and, in consequence, memory is
never freed in i2c_acpi_remove_space_handler().

Fix the NULL pointer check in acpi_bus_get_private_data() to follow
the analogous check in acpi_get_data_full().
