In i2c_acpi_remove_space_handler(), a leak occurs whenever the
"data" parameter is initialized to 0 before being passed to
acpi_bus_get_private_data().
This is because the NULL pointer check in acpi_bus_get_private_data()
(condition->if(!*data)) returns EINVAL and, in consequence, memory is
never freed in i2c_acpi_remove_space_handler().
Fix the NULL pointer check in acpi_bus_get_private_data() to follow
the analogous check in acpi_get_data_full().

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 Restructured Text 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.
