Subject: [PATCH] ACPI / tables: Fix a NULL pointer dereference in acpi_table_initrd_override()

In acpi_table_initrd_override(), the return value of acpi_os_map_memory()
is assigned to table and there is a dereference of it after that.
acpi_os_map_memory() will return NULL on failure, which may lead to NULL
pointer dereference.

Fix this bug by adding a NULL check of table.

This bug was found by a static analyzer.

Builds with 'make allyesconfig' show no new warnings,
and our static analyzer no longer warns about this code.

Fixes: 5ae74f2cc2f1 ("ACPI / tables: Move table override mechanisms to tables.c")
Signed-off-by: Zhou Qingyang <[email protected]>
---
The analysis employs differential checking to identify inconsistent
security operations (e.g., checks or kfrees) between two code paths
and confirms that the inconsistent operations are not recovered in the
current function or the callers, so they constitute bugs.

Note that, as a bug found by static analysis, it can be a false
positive or hard to trigger. Multiple researchers have cross-reviewed
the bug.
