If SSDT overlay is loaded via ConfigFS and then unloaded the device,
we would like to have OF modalias for, already gone. Thus, acpi_get_name()
returns no allocated buffer for such case and kernel crashes afterwards:

...
In order to fix above let create_of_modalias() check the status returned
by acpi_get_name() and bail out in case of failure.
