Qian Cai e174e78efa acpi/hmat: fix memory leaks in hmat_init()
The commit 665ac7e927 ("acpi/hmat: Register processor domain to its
memory") introduced some memory leaks below due to it fails to release
the heap memory in an error path, and then those statically-allocated
__initdata memory which reference them get freed during boot renders
those heap memory as leaks. Since it is valid to pass NULL to
acpi_put_table(), it is fine to call it even if acpi_get_table() returns
an error.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
