commit 25928deeb1e4e2cdae1dccff349320c6841eb5f8 upstream.

ACPICA commit 29da9a2a3f5b2c60420893e5c6309a0586d7a329

ACPI is allocating an object using kmalloc(), but then frees it
using kmem_cache_free(<"Acpi-Namespace" kmem_cache>).

This is wrong and can lead to boot failures manifesting like this:

hpet0: 3 comparators, 64-bit 100.000000 MHz counter

Bisection leads to unrelated changes in slab; Vlastimil Babka
suggests an unrelated layout or slab merge change merely exposed
the underlying bug.
