Subject: [PATCH] ACPICA: debugger: check status of acpi_evaluate_object in
 acpi_db_walk_for_fields

Errors in acpi_evaluate_object can lead to incorrect state of buffer.
This can lead to access to data in previously ACPI_FREEd buffer and
secondary ACPI_FREE to the same buffer later.

Handle errors in acpi_evaluate_object the same way it is done earlier
with acpi_ns_handle_to_pathname.

Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

Fixes: 5fd033288a86 ("ACPICA: debugger: add command to dump all fields 
of particular subtype")
