[PATCH 6.1 0179/1146] platform/x86: mxm-wmi: fix memleak in mxm_wmi_call_mx[ds|mx]()

From: Yu Liao <liaoyu15@huawei.com>

[ Upstream commit 727cc0147f5066e359aca65cc6cc5e6d64cc15d8 ]

The ACPI buffer memory (out.pointer) returned by wmi_evaluate_method()
is not freed after the call, so it leads to memory leak.

The method results in ACPI buffer is not used, so just pass NULL to
wmi_evaluate_method() which fixes the memory leak.
