Cyrill Gorcunov c5d91b16f5 efi: Fix memory leak in efivar_ssdt_load
When we load SSDT from efi variable (specified with efivar_ssdt=<var>
boot command line argument) a name for the variable is allocated
dynamically because we traverse all EFI variables. Unlike ACPI table
data, which is later used by ACPI engine, the name is no longer needed
once traverse is complete -- don't forget to free this memory.

Same time we silently ignore any errors happened here let's print a
message if something went wrong (but do not exit since this is not a
critical error and the system should continue to boot).

Also while here -- add a note why we keep SSDT table on success.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
