Commit 3718c02dbd4c ("acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT") added a default_dram_perf_ref_source variable that was initialized but never used. This causes kmemleak to report the following memory leak: unreferenced object 0xff11000225a47b60 (size 16): comm "swapper/0", pid 1, jiffies 4294761654 hex dump (first 16 bytes): 41 43 50 49 20 48 4d 41 54 00 c1 4b 7d b7 75 7c ACPI HMAT..K}.u| backtrace (crc e6d0e7b2): [<ffffffff95d5afdb>] __kmalloc_node_track_caller_noprof+0x36b/0x440 [<ffffffff95c276d6>] kstrdup+0x36/0x60 [<ffffffff95dfabfa>] mt_set_default_dram_perf+0x23a/0x2c0 [<ffffffff9ad64733>] hmat_init+0x2b3/0x660 [<ffffffff95203cec>] do_one_initcall+0x11c/0x5c0 [<ffffffff9ac9cfc4>] do_initcalls+0x1b4/0x1f0 [<ffffffff9ac9d52e>] kernel_init_freeable+0x4ae/0x520 [<ffffffff97c789cc>] kernel_init+0x1c/0x150 [<ffffffff952aecd1>] ret_from_fork+0x31/0x70 [<ffffffff9520b18a>] ret_from_fork_asm+0x1a/0x30 Fix this memory leak by removing default_dram_perf_ref_source.
