ACPI: custom_method: fix a possible memory leak
commit 1cfd8956437f842836e8a066b40d1ec2fc01f13e upstream.
In cm_write(), if the 'buf' is allocated memory but not fully consumed,
it is possible to reallocate the buffer without freeing it by passing
'*ppos' as 0 on a subsequent call.
Add an explicit kfree() before kzalloc() to prevent the possible memory
leak.
Fixes: 526b4af47f44 ("ACPI: Split out custom_method functionality into an own driver")
