From: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx>
The function acpi_processor_add is stored in the ops.add field of a
acpi_driver structure. This function is then called in
acpi_bus_driver_init. On failure, this function clears the field
device->driver_data, but does not free its contents. Thus the free has to
be done by the add function. In acpi_processor_add, the corresponding
value is pr. This value is currently freed on failure before storing it in
device->driver_data, but not after. This free is added in the error
handling code at the end of the function. The per_cpu variable
processors is also cleared so that it does not refer to a dangling pointer.
