In the Linux kernel side, acpi_get_table() hasn't been fully balanced by acpi_put_table() invocations. So it is not a good timing to report errors. The strict balanced validation count check should only be enabled after confirming that all kernel side invocations are safe. Thus this patch removes the fatal error but leaves the error report to indicate the leak so that developers can notice the required engineering change. Reported by Dan Williams, fixed by Lv Zheng.
