[PATCH][RESEND][pnp] Avoid a small unlikely memory leak in proc_read_escd()

[Jesper Juhl <jesper.juhl@gmail.com>]

Hi,

There's a small and unlikely memory leak in 
drivers/pnp/pnpbios/proc.c::proc_read_escd(). It's inside a sanity 
check, so it probably won't trigger often (if at all), however it 
*is* a potential leak and it's easy to avoid, so let's just fix it :)

While I was in there I also broke a oneline 'if' statement into two 
lines - seemed too trivial a changee to warrent a seperate patch.
