Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA:dbnames: Fix a error free in acpi_db_walk_for_fields

In acpi_db_walk_for_fields, buffer.pointer is freed in the first
time via ACPI_FREE() after acpi_os_printf("%s ", (char *)buffer.pointer).
But later, buffer.pointer is assigned to ret_value, and the freed
pointer is dereferenced by ret_value, which is use after free.

In addition, buffer.pointer is freed by ACPI_FREE() again after
acpi_os_printf("}\n"), which is a double free.

My patch removes the first ACPI_FREE() to avoid the uaf and double
free bugs.

Fixes: 5fd033288a866 ("ACPICA: debugger: add command to dump all fields of particular subtype")
