-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
The OSC set and query functions do not allocate enough space for return values,
and set the output buffer length to a false, too large value. This causes the
acpi-ca code to assume that the output buffer is larger than it actually is,
and overwrite memory when copying acpi return buffers into this caller provided
buffer. In some cases this can cause kernel oops if the memory that is
overwritten is a pointer. This patch will change these calls to use a
dynamically allocated output buffer, thus allowing the acpi-ca code to decide
how much space is needed.
