Subject: [PATCH 1/1] ACPI: fix acpi table use after free

Since commit 7fef431be9c9 ("mm/page_alloc: place pages to tail
in __free_pages_core()") the following use after free occurs
intermittently when acpi tables are accessed.

BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in ibft_init+0x134/0xc49
Read of size 4 at addr ffff8880be453004 by task swapper/0/1
CPU: 3 PID: 1 Comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 5.12.0-rc1-7a7fd0d #1

 ret_from_fork+0x22/0x30

ACPI tables mapped via kmap() do not have their mapped pages
reserved and the pages can be "stolen" by the buddy allocator.
Use memblock_reserve() to reserve all the ACPI table pages.
