[43/73] ACPI / debugfs: Fix buffer overflows, double free

[Greg KH]

2.6.37-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Vasiliy Kulikov <segoon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 2949ad50711cc161721cf788711722eeeca33764 upstream.

File position is not controlled, it may lead to overwrites of arbitrary
kernel memory.  Also the code may kfree() the same pointer multiple
times.

One more flaw is still present: if multiple processes open the file then
all 3 static variables are shared, leading to various race conditions.
They should be moved to file->private_data.
