Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: Fix use-after-free in acpi_ps_parse_aml()

KASAN reports a use-after-free problem and causes kernel panic
triggered by: modprobe acpiphp_ibm

BUG: KASAN:
use-after-free in acpi_ds_dump_method_stack (drivers/acpi/acpica/dsdebug.c:145)

---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception ]---

In the error path in acpi_ps_parse_aml():

    acpi_ds_call_control_method()
        acpi_ds_create_walk_state()
            acpi_ds_push_walk_state()
	    # thread->walk_state_list = walk_state

        acpi_ds_init_aml_walk # *fail*
        goto cleanup:
        acpi_ds_delete_walk_state() # ACPI_FREE(walk_state)

    acpi_ds_method_error()
        acpi_ds_dump_method_stack()
        # using freed thread->walk_state_list

Briefly, the walk_state is pushed to thread, and freed without being poped.
Then it is used in acpi_ds_dump_method_stack() and causes use-after-free.

Add acpi_ds_pop_walk_state(thread) to the error path to fix the problem.

Fixes: 0bac4295526c ("ACPICA: Dispatcher: Move stack traversal code to dispatcher")
