Francesco Ruggeri 833a426cc4 ACPI: OSL: only free map once in osl.c
acpi_os_map_cleanup checks map->refcount outside of acpi_ioremap_lock
before freeing the map. This creates a race condition the can result
in the map being freed more than once.
A panic can be caused by running

for ((i=0; i<10; i++))
do
        for ((j=0; j<100000; j++))
        do
                cat /sys/firmware/acpi/tables/data/BERT >/dev/null
        done &
done

This patch makes sure that only the process that drops the reference
to 0 does the freeing.

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.
