Subject: [PATCH] acpi: Fix memory leak on acpi_scan_init_hotplug() error path

Following commit 6b772e8f9 (ACPI: Update PNPID match handling for
notify), the acpi_scan_init_hotplug() calls acpi_set_pnp_ids() which
allocates acpi_hardware_id and copies a few strings (kstrdup). If the
devices does not have hardware_id set, the function exits without
freeing the previously allocated ids (and kmemleak complains). This
patch calls simply changes 'return' on error to a 'goto out' which calls
acpi_free_pnp_ids().

Testing was performed by adding a fake ACPI object with _UID only.

Applied to linux-pm.git/linux-next as v3.10-rc2 material.
