In pcibios_irq_init(), the PCI IRQ routing table 'pirq_table' is firstly found through pirq_find_routing_table(). If the table is not found and 'CONFIG_PCI_BIOS' is defined, the table is then allocated in pcibios_get_irq_routing_table() using kmalloc(). In the following execution, if the I/O APIC is used, this table is actually not used. However, in that case, the allocated table is not freed, which can lead to a memory leak bug. To fix this issue, this patch frees the allocated table if it is not used.
