[PATCH 1/2] ACPICA: acpi_get_object_info(): fixup array -> pointer

[PATCH 1/2] ACPICA: acpi_get_object_info(): fixup array -> pointer

[Bjorn Helgaas]

Commit 15b8dd53f5ffa changed the string in info->hardware_id from a static
array to a pointer and added a length field.  But instead of changing
"sizeof(array)" to "length", we changed it to "sizeof(length)" (= 4),
which corrupts the string we're trying to null-terminate.

We no longer even need to null-terminate the string, but we *do* need to
check whether we found a HID.  If there's no HID, we used to have an empty
array, but now we have a null pointer.

The combination of these defects causes this oops:

  Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference (address 0000000000000003)
  modprobe[895]: Oops 8804682956800 [1]
  ip is at zx1_gart_probe+0xd0/0xcc0 [hp_agp]
