Subject: [PATCH] acpi: fix for memory leak in i2c_acpi_install_space_handler

In i2c_acpi_remove_space_handler function, leak occurs whenever "data"
parameter is initialized to 0 in call to acpi_bus_get_private_data().
This is because the parameter validity check in acpi_bus_get_private_data
(condition->if(!*data)) returns EINVAL and as a consequence, memory is
never freed in i2c_acpi_remove_space_handler function. Fix/Correct the
parameter validity check in acpi_bus_get_private_data() as that of
similarly done in acpi_get_data_full().
