[PATCH] acpi: fix a leak of acpi_buffer objects in acpi_video_get_edid()

[skeggsb]

From: Ulrich Obergfell <uobergfe@redhat.com>

Commit 24b102d3488c9d201915d070a519e07098e0cd30 modified nouveau to take
a copy of the data returned by acpi_video_get_edid() to prevent an invalid
free later on.  This left a leak of the acpi_buffer.

A correct fix involves modifying the ACPI code to return a copy of the EDID
data, and freeing the acpi_buffer.
