[PATCH 4.9 30/54] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: re-initialize ACPI buffer size when reuse

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Aaron Ma <aaron.ma@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 720ef73d1a239e33c3ad8fac356b9b1348e68aaf upstream.

Evaluating ACPI _BCL could fail, then ACPI buffer size will be set to 0.
When reuse this ACPI buffer, AE_BUFFER_OVERFLOW will be triggered.

Re-initialize buffer size will make ACPI evaluate successfully.

Fixes: 46445b6b896fd ("thinkpad-acpi: fix handle locate for video and query of _BCL")
