Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix memory leaks when parsing ThinkStation WMI strings

My previous commit introduced a memory leak where the item allocated
from tlmi_setting was not freed.
This commit also renames it to avoid confusion with the similarly name
variable in the same function.

Fixes: 8a02d70679fc ("platform/x86: think-lmi: Add possible_values for ThinkStation")
Reported-by: Mirsad Todorovac <mirsad.todorovac@....unizg.hr>
Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/df26ff45-8933-f2b3-25f4-6ee51ccda7d8@gmx.de/T/

This patch series builds on top of the proposed patch from Armin Wolf
"platform/x86: think-lmi: Fix memory leak when showing current settings"
Changes in v2: None, but rebased series because of issues with second
patch.
