The kfree() function was called in two cases by the
ide_get_dev_handle() function during error handling
even if the passed variable "dinfo" contained a null pointer.

* Let us return directly if a call of the function "ACPI_HANDLE"
  or "acpi_get_object_info" failed.

* Delete the explicit initialisation for the variables "dinfo" and "ret"
  at the beginning then.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
